At last, you can take your first few steps into a city ever shrouded with night. Somewhere in the United States, Shadow City sits in a never-ending cycle of darkness. Few people ever come to this strange metropolis. Even less leave.

You can now be one of the lucky few to see Shadow City for yourself.

With the launch of Kindle Vella last week, my new serialized story Shadow City comes with it. Our tale opens in a morgue, where a man named North awakens to a whole new existence. His path soon crosses with a young sex worker named Mia. Together they face the “Darkest Dawn!”

The first two chapters of the story are now available to read for free at Amazon. Kindle Vella is a new episodic format available on all iOS devices and through web browsers. The first three chapters of every Vella story is free, with each subsequent chapter available at an affordable rate. The next chapter drops tomorrow, with each new chapter coming around the first of every month.

The saga of Shadow City is an epic you do not want to miss!

The arrival of Shadow City also comes with a change for yours truly. You might notice a slightly different name attached to the project. The new story is the first of several tales I have in the works with a more urban fantasy bent. While Shadow City and those upcoming still exist within the MHP Universe, I wanted to offer an easy delineation for people that might be interested in urban fantasy but not traditional superheroes or vice versa.

My new nom de plume N.J. Ahlhelm should be just different enough to make that difference clear. While this website and my newsletter will remain the same for both identities, readers can easily know exactly how many costumes and four color heroics they might find with just the slightest change of a name!

You can expect more works from N.J. Ahlhelm in the future, but for now please read Shadow City for free and be sure to let me know what you think! Leave a comment, write a review, or get in touch with me on Twitter, but make sure to let your voice be heard!

Thanks and keep reading!
