After surviving a devastating accident that claimed the life of her best friend, she struggles with guilt and despair, until a chance encounter sparks a fierce desire to reclaim purpose. As the city grows restless with the rise of an elusive hero, Elliott must confront her demons, rediscover her strength, and navigate the evolving mystery of what truly happened to her soulmate.
Elliott’s transformation from grief-stricken survivor to unstoppable force for justice is fraught with peril. As Nemesis, she covertly fights the wrongs on the streets of her beloved city, Olympus. Night after night, she pushes herself to the brink, but the people of Olympus begin to question whether Nemesis is a hero, or a threat.

Can Nemesis balance the weight of her moral convictions with the newly discovered reason for a temptation of vengeance, or will her quest for the truth consume everything she has left? With pulse-pounding action, intricate relationships, and a protagonist battling her darkest moments, When Shadows Fall is an unforgettable journey of healing, betrayal, and the fight for truth and friendship, that defines a hero.
