Shadow Stalker: Infiltration (Episode 21‪)‬

"To defeat a tyrant, Auren must risk becoming one."

The Galvadi Empire has a new emperor—and he's even more ruthless than the last.

Zavix rules through fear, demanding loyalty, obedience, and daily torment disguised as "cleansing." But his paranoia makes him dangerous, and his obsession with crushing the shadow stalkers could doom the Serpent Isles forever.

Auren knows the only way to stop him is from within. Disguised as a prisoner, she infiltrates the palace, risking everything to reach Zavix. With her newfound powers of mind control growing stronger—and more addictive—she must decide how far she's willing to go. If she loses herself to the shadows, she may become the monster Drevin always claimed she was.

Shadow Stalker: Infiltration (Episode 21) continues Renee Scattergood's dark fantasy serial of prophecy, rebellion, and sacrifice—perfect for fans of Trudi Canavan, Robin Hobb, and grim yet hopeful tales of resistance.
