The Shepherd's Call

When the line between saving souls and hunting monsters blurs, how do you know which side you’re really on?

Ezra Gideon never wanted to be a hero. But when he’s called to become a Shepherd—one of the last defenders of humanity against the demonic Strays—his life is changed forever. The Strays, disguised as humans, prey on fear, pride, and despair, turning cities into battlegrounds of unseen war. Armed with a silver staff engraved with sacred scripture and a fragile but unwavering faith, Ezra must confront creatures that test not only his strength but the very foundation of his beliefs.

But the Strays are not mindless beasts. Their leader, Silas, is intelligent, seductive, and convinced that the Shepherds have been executing divine justice without mercy. He offers Ezra a grim stay the course and lose his soul in judgment—or see the truth and risk everything.

As visions of fire and ruin cloud his mind, Ezra’s quest becomes more than survival—it becomes a race to save not just humanity, but himself. The deeper he hunts, the more he realizes that salvation and damnation are closer than he ever imagined.

Suspenseful, action-packed, and thought-provoking, The Shepherd's Call will drag you into a world of shadows where faith is tested, monsters wear human faces, and the cost of doing what’s right could mean losing everything.
