Shadow of a Demon: Book One of the Terrano Trilogy

By E. Rose Sabin

India Terrano is infected with a dangerous symbiont, a creature that feeds on energy. As a child she saw it transform her father into a pillar of fire, consuming him. She felt this thing pass from her dying father to her. Ever since that fateful day, she has hated and feared the symbiont that dwells within her. She regards it as a demon that endangers her family and everyone she holds dear. Its beneficial gift of health and strength cannot compensate for its destructive capabilities, especially when those capabilities are enhanced by an outside source of energy. India avoids bright lights, keeps to shadows, and tries to let nothing upset or anger her, lest the symbiont react to her emotional state. Despite her efforts to keep it contained, when a family member's life is endangered, India feels the creature stir within her. She runs from a family gathering out into the night. Too late. A hover car descends, illuminating the street, and the symbiont absorbs the energy and releases its destructive force, not only striking down the descending car but also blasting the man she loves and planned to marry. To spare her family, she runs from her home, her world, and all that she loves, but she cannot run from that thing within her. She must find a way to rid herself of it. But how? And at what cost to her life and the lives of those around her? Will she ever escape the shadow it casts over her life?
