Shadows of Bay City

Shadows of Bay City

Book One: Gathering Shadows

Shadows of Bay City is an urban vigilante action series that combines martial arts, crime drama, mystery, and character-driven storytelling in a city where the justice system cannot always protect the innocent.

The series follows Janelle LaPierre and Scott Carver, two young adults whose lives are changed when they begin encountering the darker side of Bay City. Faced with predators, traffickers, gangs, organized crime, and victims who have nowhere else to turn, they make a choice that will define their future: they refuse to stand by and do nothing.

What begins as a handful of good intentions slowly evolves into something much larger. As Janelle and Scott develop their skills, build alliances, and learn the true cost of their actions, they find themselves creating a network of like-minded individuals dedicated to protecting those who have fallen through the cracks.

Unlike superheroes with extraordinary powers, the heroes of Shadows of Bay City rely on determination, intelligence, teamwork, training, and courage. Every victory comes at a cost, every mistake has consequences, and every mission forces them to confront difficult questions about justice, responsibility, and the limits of the law.

Set in the same Bay City as The Savage Chronicles, the series explores a different side of the city—its streets, neighborhoods, hidden dangers, and the ordinary people caught in extraordinary situations. As their reputation grows, Janelle and Scott attract both allies and enemies, setting the stage for a long-running struggle against the forces that prey upon the vulnerable.

Combining martial arts action, crime-fighting, suspense, and emotional character development, Shadows of Bay City tells the story of ordinary people who choose to make a difference when no one else will.
