Nadia Combwood has always felt like an outsider. As a child, she shared a mysterious connection with an angel, but as she grew older, the memory faded, leaving her convinced she was just another overlooked Black girl trying to survive in a vast, unforgiving city.
Haunted by a past she can’t fully remember and a destiny she never chose, Nadia struggles to find her place in the world. After surviving a life-altering event, she channels her resilience into a new path: training to become an FBI agent. Her exceptional performance and low profile make her the perfect candidate for a covert operation—one that places her deep inside one of the most dangerous underground organizations in the country.
But the deeper Nadia goes, the more she realizes this mission is only the surface of something far greater.
A hidden war is being waged across America, one that operates beyond the reach of ordinary law and understanding. And at the center of it all is Nadia herself.
As long-buried truths begin to resurface, Nadia must confront the reality of who she is and the power she holds, because when the war is over, she may be the one who decides who rises… and who falls.
A revised book deserves a revised cover. The image shown here will likely serve as the inspiration for the final design—unless, of course, I have a complete change of heart.
This scene captures one of the many pivotal moments in which Nadia’s eyes are opened—not only to the truth of the world around her, but more profoundly, to the truth within herself.
This image was actually the illustration on the first book cover
I worked so hard on this drawing
I loved it up until I hated it. Still hate it. Proportions are all off but it is part of my journey
This was the pencil drawing that proceeded the final cover.
Previous Cover Design
This was the final book cover design that I went with for the first edition. This won't be here forever. It's a little mental gratis for those early explorers of the secret world in it's second debut.
