Shadows of Betrayal In a crumbling apartment bathed in moonlight, sixteen-year-old Charlotte shoulders the weight of her family’s fragile world. By day, she’s a diligent student; by night, she works late shifts at the local diner to keep food on the table for her frail grandmother and two-year-old brother, Cameron. But when Cameron begins uttering unnerving prophecies—his latest warning naming Carlson, Charlotte’s childhood tormentor—as the one who will betray her, Charlotte’s carefully constructed life begins to unravel. Haunted by memories of the accident that stole their parents and driven by fierce loyalty to protect Cameron, Charlotte must confront an enemy she once dismissed as a schoolyard bully. As strange incidents spiral into real danger and Cameron’s visions grow more urgent, Charlotte is pulled into a web of secrets, power, and supernatural forewarning. With every step toward the betrayal foretold, she must decide whom she can trust, face the shadows lurking in her own past, and embrace the uncanny gift that may be the only thing standing between her family and ruin. Shadows of Betrayal is a tense, emotional thriller about sibling bonds, the burden of secrets, and the race to outwit destiny itself.
