Dangerous Games- The Hunger - Book 1 of the Echo Series

ANTHONY M. DIFIORE

A tear in reality. A father marked by nightmares. A child born with a light that could save-or shatter-the world.

When a desperate man performs a forbidden ritual, something ancient hears the call. Something hungry. Something patient. And miles away, Kevin Hunter wakes every night at 3:15 AM, gasping for breath, unaware that his fear is slowly opening the first breach between worlds.

But the true danger arrives in silence.

A creature made of shadow and mimicry slips through Kevin's dreams, learning his face, learning his voice-learning him. And as the boundary between realities thins, the thing that crossed over begins to stalk his home, drawn to the glow of his infant daughter.

Because Samantha Hunter isn't just a baby.

She is a child of two realms-born with a soul that touches the One True Reality and a light powerful enough to anchor a gateway between worlds. A light powerful enough to awaken everything that has been waiting on the other side.

Now Kevin, his wife Megan, and his sister-in-law Tammy must survive the night as the Echo-a creature wearing Kevin's half-learned form-tries to take Samantha for its own purpose. And deeper in the dark, beyond the Echo, the true entity that heard the ritual stirs...

The Hunger. The source. The one that wants Samantha most of all.

As reality fractures around them and light and shadow collide, the family must confront a truth more terrifying than the creatures themselves:

The breach didn't start with Samantha. It started with Kevin. And it's been growing through him for a year.

Terrifying, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, Dangerous Games: The Hunger is the first book of the Echo Series-a supernatural thriller of cosmic horror, fractured identity, and the dangerous miracle of a child born between worlds.
