THE WHISPERS OF A LIE: PART 2 - THE SHADOWS OF THE FORSAKEN

A psychological thriller laced with dark romance, obsession, and haunting ambiguity.

Some stories don't end. They echo.

Catherine Sinclair thought she could rewrite her fate. That desire, no matter how dangerous, could be a form of freedom. But in the wake of her choices, the lines between passion, manipulation, and survival begin to dissolve-and the woman she's becoming might be more dangerous than the men she's trying to escape.

In the glittering chaos of New York's elite, Catherine finds herself spiraling deeper into a world of fractured mirrors and whispered lies. The man she once feared is no longer her only threat. Now, the one she longs for may be the one who breaks her completely.

Fabian Laurent was never meant to be her salvation. Haunted by his past and unraveling beneath the weight of secrets he can't outrun, Fabian is no longer just a man-he's a storm in a tailored suit, colliding with Catherine's world in ways neither of them can contain. As their bond deepens, so too does the danger: blurred memories, violent obsessions, and a truth neither of them are ready to face.

As betrayal tightens its grip and reality begins to fracture, Catherine must confront the possibility that love is not always the antidote to trauma. Sometimes, it's the trigger.

From penthouse offices to psychiatric hospitals, from bridal boutiques to shadowed alleyways, The Shadows of the Forsaken is a descent into identity, madness, and the brutal cost of emotional freedom. Every chapter peels back a new layer of truth-or illusion-until nothing is certain but this:

Catherine's story was never about rescue. It was about reckoning.

Fans of authors like Gillian Flynn, Colleen Hoover, Caroline Kepnes, and Tarryn Fisher will find themselves riveted by this dark, addictive tale of love, power, and the seductive danger of being seen.
