When a desperate man performs a forbidden ritual, something ancient hears the call. Something hungry. Something patient. Years later and miles away, Kevin Hunter wakes every night at 3:15 AM, gasping for breath, unaware that his fear is slowly opening a breach between worlds.

But the true danger arrives in silence.

A creature made of shadow and mimicry slips through Kevin’s dreams, learning his face, learning his voice—learning him. And as the boundary between realities thins, the thing that crossed over begins to stalk his home, drawn to the glow of his infant daughter.

Because Samantha Hunter isn’t just a baby.

She is a child of creation—born with a light powerful enough to awaken everything that has been waiting on the other side.

Now Kevin, his wife Megan, his sister-in-law Tammy and others must survive as the Hunger—a creature that wears others form—tries to take Samantha for its own purpose. And deeper in the dark, beyond this world, the true entity that heard the ritual stirs…

The Hunger.
The source.
The one that wants Samantha most of all.

As reality fractures around them and light and shadow collide, the family must confront a truth more terrifying than the creatures themselves:

The breach didn’t start with Samantha.
It started before Kevin.
And it’s been growing for years.

Terrifying, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, Dangerous Games: The Hunger is the first book of the Echo Series—a supernatural thriller of horror, fractured identity, and the dangerous miracle of a child born between worlds.
