Description
Humanity has known fear since the dawn of time. As we evolved into Earth’s dominant species, our fears evolved with us, taking the form of Phobias. Living manifestations of our greatest fears. Hidden within our shadows, they wait patiently. Their passage into our world is paved by a single soul's descent into terror.
Such is the harsh reality that Tyria grapples with daily. In her world, not everything is simple. For humanity has evolved to match the Phobias. Now, some possess the uncanny ability to discern the fears of others, while others can wield their own dread as formidable powers. Yet even among them, Tyria is a rarity. Born with both gifts, her very being is entwined with the ancient power of the Phobias. She is a Shadow Walker, heir to a history fraught with death yet brimming with potential.
For Tyria, mastering her abilities is not merely a choice; it is imperative to stave off the encroaching darkness threatening to consume her. Fortunately, fate intertwines her path with her best friend Irene. Together, they chance upon the Fearwalkers, a fellowship of Shadowkin who have learned to control their powers, standing as bastions against the encroaching shadows.
Under the guidance of her newfound mentors, Tyria embarks on a perilous journey, confronting her deepest fears head-on. For within the shadows of her world, lurk those who seek to unravel the very fabric of society. With the world teetering on the brink of chaos, Tyria must rise to the occasion, knowing all too well that even in moments of triumph, the shadows are always watching.

Shadow Walker is a dark, immersive journey into a world where fear takes on a life of its own—literally. Tyria, born with the rare ability to see and wield fears, is both strong and vulnerable as she battles to master her powers and face the terrifying Phobias threatening humanity. What I loved most was how the story blends psychological tension with vivid action, making the stakes feel personal and epic at the same time. If you enjoy stories where characters grow through their fears and friendships hold them steady, this is the perfect read.
👀 You think you know fear? HA! Shadow Walker says, “Hold my shadow.” Tyria’s got powers, problems, and a bestie in Irene who’s ready to back her up against creepy, living nightmares that’ll give you chills. The best part? It’s not just monsters and mayhem (though there’s plenty of that); it’s Tyria’s journey to owning her darkness and kicking some Phobia butt. This book had me gripping the pages, whispering, “Don’t look behind you…” at 2 a.m. If you love fierce heroines, spooky vibes, and epic showdowns, grab this one now. 🌒🖤📚
