He came to repay a debt. He stayed to speak a name the world tried to bury. Haunted by the unsolved death of his fellow Marine, Ethan Cole returns to the rain-lashed coast of Hope Harbor with nothing but a sealed envelope and a secret that could destroy him. All he wants is to disappear, but the past has other plans. When a traumatized boy washes ashore, mute and terrified, drawing visions only Ethan can decipher, he's forced to confront the truth he's spent eight years running from. Standing between him and justice: a grieving counselor who sees his wounds but won't let him hide, a sister who swam through stormwater to protect her son, and a town that remembers too much, and forgives too slowly. As a shadowy conspiracy reaches into the highest ranks of military power, Ethan must choose: vanish again, or stand and say the name that could finally set them all free. Shadows of Mercy is a gripping, atmospheric novel of spiritual suspense where mercy isn't given lightly, truth costs everything, and redemption is forged not in grand gestures, but in the quiet courage to stay. For readers who believe hope is earned, not promised, and that the most powerful acts of faith happen in the silence between words.
I'm Riaan Schlebusch, a Christian author from South Africa, writing for the remnant. My focus is clear: prepare hearts for what's coming, call people back to the Word, and expose deception with truth straight from Scripture. I don't write from comfort or distance. I write from the fire, unemployment, spiritual warfare, desperate prayers, and full dependence on God. My journey is far from polished, but it's real. Through devotionals, fiction, and prophetic reflections, I aim to stir up bold faith and awaken a generation that won't bow to compromise. Whether you're reading a raw story, a daily devotional, or a survival manual for the end times, I write to remind you: Jesus is coming back, and we need to be ready. No hype. No fluff. Just the truth that cuts through the noise and calls you deeper. I walk this journey with my wife, my son, and four daughters, trusting God daily to provide, guide, and break through. Everything I write flows from that place: total dependence, unshakable hope, and eyes locked on eternity. "But the one who endures to the end will be saved." - Matthew 24:13
