Shadow of Death

In the once-vibrant city of General Santos, a strange and haunting darkness begins to fall. Shadows move with intent, slithering through alleyways and hiding in plain sight—bringing with them death, fear, and an ancient evil that seeks to devour humanity from within. Paul, a quiet, kind-hearted student, suddenly finds himself at the center of a battle he never chose. When a monstrous entity known as The Claw—a former murderer reborn as a shadow creature—attacks his school, Paul is gravely wounded. But in the moment of near death, a mysterious light awakens within him, forming an ancient, shining armor and a sword forged from the Word itself. He becomes something more: a Guardian, one of the chosen few who can fight back the darkness. Elsewhere, veteran investigator Greg, and forensic expert Harriette, follow a trail of grim murders that defy explanation. What begins as a local case slowly unravels into a terrifying truth: missing criminals may have become vessels for shadows. Behind them all looms the terrifying presence of The Dragon, the ancient leader of the shadow ranks, sending ever-stronger horrors like The Maw and Dark Sword to prepare the earth for a greater darkness. Amid the terror, flickers of hope shine. From the Great Commission Missionary Baptist Church, Pastor Joseph and his pregnant wife Mariz fight back with prayers and truth. Guardians rise in other cities. And across the nation, stories spread of warriors clad in divine light—protectors chosen by something far greater than themselves. As the war between light and shadow escalates, Paul must face the truth about who he is and why he was chosen. But with each victory, the darkness grows smarter, hungrier, and more desperate to claim what light remains. Can a single boy’s faith and courage stand against an army of living nightmares?
