Fifteen-year-old Kael Renji has spent his life running, from his abusive parents, from the helplessness he feels watching his three younger sisters suffer, and from the crushing weight of a world that seems incapable of justice. To escape, he joins a secretive combat academy, where rigorous training and dangerous missions sharpen his skills and ignite a fierce protective instinct.

But the battles Kael fights outside mirror the ones inside. Each mission pushes him closer to the edge, forcing him to confront moral dilemmas he never imagined he would face. When he finally returns home one night to find his parents asleep and unaware, Kael is faced with the ultimate choice, one that could free his sisters but shatter his soul.

Shattered Chains is a gripping tale of action, heartbreak, and the devastating costs of protecting those you love in a world where innocence is fragile, and justice comes at a terrible price.
