Jenna Hartley

Dark Threads

In a world where morality is a shifting shadow and power is the only constant, Kaelen Thorne emerges as a mysterious and enigmatic figure, offering salvation to those caught in impossible situations. But his help comes at a price. From struggling teachers and disillusioned leaders to everyday people on the brink of collapse, Kaelen whispers into the darkness of their souls, guiding them toward victory—but at the cost of their integrity. Each story in "Dark Threads" explores the fine line between right and wrong, as characters confront corrupt authority figures, societal systems stacked against them, and their own inner demons. As they fall under Kaelen’s subtle influence, they face the ultimate choice: uphold their values and face defeat, or embrace the darkness to achieve their goals. In "Shadows of Authority," Jenna Holbrook, a dedicated teacher, is on the verge of losing everything to a corrupt superintendent. When Kaelen offers her the chance to expose him using morally questionable methods, Jenna is forced to choose between fighting clean and winning dirty. In other tales, a disillusioned investigator, a compromised journalist, and a betrayed business owner all find themselves drawn to Kaelen’s irresistible logic, tempted to cross ethical lines they once swore to uphold. Each must grapple with the price of power and the lengths they’re willing to go to claim it. "Dark Threads" weaves together stories of moral compromise, hidden corruption, and the dangerous allure of power, exploring what happens when the only way to win is to become the very thing you fear.
