Shadows of St. Ignatius is the thrilling first installment in The Chronicles of Chad Ryker: Supernatural Justice, a gripping young adult series that blends mystery, supernatural suspense, and Jesuit mysticism. Chad Ryker is no ordinary freshman. Raised on a sprawling horse farm and vineyard in San Luis Obispo, California, Chad's life has been grounded in family, hard work, and faith. But when he begins his first year at St. Ignatius Academy-a prestigious Jesuit high school with a haunting history-his world begins to unravel. Strange whispers, moving shadows, and unsettling visions seem to follow him at every turn, drawing him into the school's deepest and darkest secrets. When Chad discovers an abandoned chapel and stumbles upon a cloaked group performing chilling rituals, he realizes he's caught in a centuries-old battle between light and darkness. With the help of his tech-savvy best friend Kara and conspiracy-obsessed Leo, Chad begins piecing together the mystery of St. Ignatius. He learns of a hidden artifact, the Heart of Ignatius, and its connection to his own lineage-a connection that places him at the center of a terrifying prophecy. As the shadows grow bolder, Chad must confront his fears, embrace his emerging abilities, and decide whether to take up the mantle of protector against supernatural forces. Rich with Gothic atmosphere, suspense, and heart, Shadows of St. Ignatius is a coming-of-age story that explores courage, faith, and the hidden battles we all face. Perfect for fans of The Raven Cycle and The Da Vinci Code, this book is an unforgettable start to a seven-part journey.
