Description
In the shadows, the balance is tipping...
Alan's journey from a freelance forensic photographer to a key player in the police department is about to take a darker turn. Alongside his steadfast friend Jessie, Alan dives into an investigation of a money laundering ring with sinister ties to the Shades. But this is no ordinary case. The fragile peace between the Glints-angelic beings with a sinister edge-and the Shades is on the brink of collapse, threatening to unleash chaos beyond the shadow realm.
As Alan and his Shade companion, Blot, plan a daring heist to recover mystical artifacts from a seemingly innocuous sandwich shop, they face off against shifters-humans twisted into monstrous forms by their Shade masters. With the help of a mischievous creature named Chu-chu, they must navigate a web of deception and danger.
In a world where crime, law enforcement, and the supernatural collide, Alan must balance the scales before the impending clash between the Glints, the Shades, and a mysterious third force engulfs everything in darkness.
Shards of Shadow: Book 4 is a thrilling continuation of Joseph R. Lallo's Urban Fantasy series, blending crime, magic, and the eternal struggle between light and dark.

Person
Joseph R. Lallo was born in Bayonne, NJ. For most of his life, writing was an interest that he used to fill those spare moments when he should have been studying or doing other more productive activities. This continued all the way through college, through graduate school where he earned a masters of computer engineering, and through nearly a decade as an IT specialist. On January 28th 2010, after several dozen failed attempts to have his stories traditionally published, his friends convinced him to self-publish. A year later he had earned $19, so he decided to make the first book in his series free. The following month he made $1900 and was well on his way to a career in self-publishing. Since then he has expanded into traditional publishing, translations, audio productions, and podcasts.Primarily known for his Book of Deacon fantasy series, Joseph R. Lallo has released more than two books in a variety of settings. These include the six books in the Deacon setting, seven science fiction novels in the Big Sigma series, a superhero satire called The Other Eight, and a steampunk series called Free-Wrench.
