THE DEBUT NOVEL FROM AUTHOR RICK JUREWICZ

In The Shadows of Fate

When a young woman sets herself on a journey to discover a past she’s never known, she finds herself facing a destiny that touches the threshold of Heaven, Hell, and all that lies in between.

Miranda Stratton is a fiercely independent college student plagued by the sudden recurrence of a nightmare that haunted her childhood nights, returning more intense than ever before. As her studies begin to suffer, Miranda makes the difficult decision to take time off from school and return to her home in the small northern Michigan town of Native Springs. The day after she arrives at her family’s new house, a package is delivered addressed to Miranda with no return address.

Miranda’s plans to get her life back on track again are turned upside down when the contents of the package set her on a journey into the depths of a past she’s never known, taking her from the rugged and remote wilderness of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to the urban landscapes of the cities of southern Michigan. Coming into possession of an ancient document revealing a very different take on the Adversary of God, Miranda is pursued by the mysterious and violent Mr. Cain and Mr. Skye. With almost no one she can trust except Jake, her high school ex-boyfriend with whom she shares a complicated relationship, and Lydia, her best friend and roommate, Miranda finds herself on the verge of discovering the dark truth about the nightmare that has followed her throughout her entire life – and a startling personal revelation that will forever change her destiny.

Rick Jurewicz

Rick Jurewicz was born in Southfield, Michigan, but grew up and has lived in the northern tip region of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula almost all of his life. While being raised in an environment rich in dense wilderness, filled with lakes and streams in a region of vastly changing seasons, Rick loved to live in his mind in worlds of far away places and dreamed of heroes and villains clashing in desperate battles to save kingdoms, worlds, and often their very souls.

Rick has been writing short stories and poetry for more than 20 years, featuring some works in newspaper publications local to the northern Michigan area, and has shared many of his works via his social media outlets. In the Shadows of Fate is Rick’s first full-length novel.

A lover of dark drama, horror and sci-fi, in both print and film media, Rick has found his greatest inspirations for writing in the modern works of Neil Gaiman, Anne Rice, Thomas Harris & Stephen King, to the gothic writings of the dark and beautiful Edgar Allan Poe and the adventurous tales of the legendary Robert Louis Stevenson.

Rick and his family reside in Indian River, Michigan.
