(Book 1)
The Last War series
Tristan thought life was already as bad as it could get... Orphaned. Beaten. An outcast.
​
Then he’s taken. Stolen in the night.
​
They chose the right boy. No one will miss Tristan Webb. No one will come looking. And no one will hear him scream as he’s trained inside the Shadow Academy.
​
As Tristan’s power grows, so does the fear of what he’s becoming. He isn’t being educated — he’s being shaped into a weapon. In a world where darkness wears many faces, Tristan must decide who the real enemy is… and whether survival is worth surrendering everything he once was.
​
Shadow Academy is the first book in The Last War series — a dark dystopian fantasy set in The Hybrid Universe, where a new generation of humans has begun to develop dangerous abilities.
