SHADOW OF GOLD: Book One: The Sleepless Call

codeHtml "What if your insomnia isn't an illness, but your shadow's cry of rebellion?" For fourteen agonizing days, Adam hasn't slept a wink. He thinks he's slowly losing his mind under the city's crushing pressure, until a terrifying coincidence leads him to a hidden alleyway and a forgotten library that only appears at dusk. There, he discovers a horrifying truth: his insomnia isn't a disease. It is a desperate defense mechanism triggered by his own "shadow," refusing to submit to a secret cult known as The Sleepless. An immortal society that feeds on stolen human dreams, condensing them into a magical energy called "Liquid Gold." Overnight, Adam is dragged into the Undercity... a nightmarish, inverted realm where time freezes, and shadows morph into lethal weapons. Guided by a mysterious elder Guardian, Adam must learn to tame his newly awakened, golden shadow before he falls into the clutches of the Architect of Insomnia-a terrifying entity planning to steal humanity's sleep forever. A heart-pounding dark urban fantasy. Open the book... and make sure your shadow is still following you!
