About the Book

Book Synopsis

What Brynn Caldwell can't remember might get her killed.

Brynn is a promising science student recovering from a major setback: Last year, a bad relationship sent her spiraling into depression. But as she puts the pieces of her life back together, a few don't fit.

Soon Brynn starts having flashbacks--hazy memories of being abducted and possibly brainwashed. It's all connected to a wonder drug to treat PTSD that might actually be the ultimate weapon: a tool to control people's memories. And Brynn can't trust the people who know the truth--her best friend turned enemy, her genius scientist mother with a secret, and Brynn herself, whose memories might all be lies.

Now, to stop a possible terrorist attack, Brynn has to uncover what she's been forced to forget--and learn what side she's really on.

Elyse Brayden's Shadow State is a pulse-pounding thriller that tackles homeland security, government conspiracy, and obsessive love, with a final-page plot twist you'll never forget.
