Shadow Boxed (Shadow Warriors #2)

Its a terrible thing to find and lose a child in the same breath.

Twenty years ago, ONeill left the Pinch Point Kalikoia reservation as jievan—outcast—after the woman he loved betrayed him and no one believed his powerful spirit gift was real. He disappeared into the shadowy world of special ops, becoming one of the most lethal warriors the world has ever known.

Now the apocalypse is coming, and ONeill has been called back to Shadow Mountain as part of an elite Kalikoia war command. But hes still an outsider, still shunned—until the day everything changes.

Its a terrible thing to find and lose a child in the same breath.

Twenty years ago, ONeill left the Pinch Point Kalikoia reservation as jievan—outcast—after the woman he loved betrayed him and no one believed his powerful spirit gift was real. He disappeared into the shadowy world of special ops, becoming one of the most lethal warriors the world has ever known.

Now the apocalypse is coming, and ONeill has been called back to Shadow Mountain as part of an elite Kalikoia war command. But hes still an outsider, still shunned—until the day everything changes.

When the woman who broke his heart arrives to collect her sons body after a failed mission, he learns a devastating truth: the nineteen-year-old dead warrior was his son. The son he never knew existed. And theres more—the boy had a twin sister. ONeill has a living daughter who carries a spirit guide as powerful as his own.

But her spirit gift is a warrior’s totem. And his daughter has never held a weapon.

Thrust into the role of trainer and protector, ONeill must teach his daughter to survive when the spirit world is fracturing, enemies are closing in, and humanitys extinction looms. But his greatest challenge isnt the coming war—its learning to trust again.

His daughter needs more than warrior skills to survive whats coming. She needs a father. And that means the man whos perfected pushing people away must find a way to let her in before its too late.

With time running out and everything at stake, ONeill faces an impossible choice: the isolation thats kept him alive, or the family bond that might be humanitys only hope.
