Before The Shadows: Greyson Tallis Book 1

The War Ends. The Battle to Live Begins.

Grey Tallis spent nearly a decade serving in places the government pretends don’t exist—black-site operations, shadow missions, and decisions that carved pieces out of a man who didn’t have much left to give. By the time he finally returns home to Edmonton, he’s ready to rebuild the life he walked away from: a wife who waited too long, a daughter he barely knows, and a world that no longer fits the soldier he has become.

Beyond The Shadows: Grey & Jonas Book 4 

Grey Tallis is trying to live again.

After months of recovery, pain, and nights that still don’t always end cleanly, Grey returns to the only normal he trusts—training, teaching, and steady work in Edmonton’s schools. Self-defense classes. Outreach programs. Quiet routines that demand discipline without spectacle. Just enough structure to keep the past from closing in.
