In Daybridge, the veil between worlds has always been thin—but now it's tearing apart.

Detective Ethan Reeves thought he'd left the supernatural behind when he moved to the seemingly ordinary city of Daybridge. Then a routine investigation into grave robberies reveals ritualistic markings, bodies drained of vital essence, and evidence of something beyond human understanding. When a confrontation beneath Daybridge Bridge leaves Ethan permanently transformed—part man, part wolf, and strangely connected to the city's hidden dimensional nexus—he realizes there's no going back to “normal” police work.

Partnered with the brilliant but skeptical Detective Alice Chen, Ethan must navigate both his new abilities and a city where shadows move with purpose. As they investigate, the pair uncovers disturbing patterns: strange symbols carved into headstones, unexplained disappearances, and energy fluctuations that even the city's meteorologists can't explain away.

Their search for answers leads them into Daybridge's hidden supernatural underworld—a realm where ancient bookshops hold forbidden knowledge, where creatures of myth conduct business in smoky back rooms, and where the boundaries between dimensions grow dangerously thin as Halloween approaches.

When they discover a clandestine order operating beneath the city's respectable surface, Ethan and Alice realize they're facing a threat far beyond conventional crime. This secretive group seeks to harness the power of Daybridge's unique position at the crossroads of realities, with consequences that could reshape existence itself.

With dimensional boundaries weakening by the day and his own transformation still not fully understood, Ethan must forge an uneasy alliance between the police department and Daybridge's supernatural communities. As the cosmic chess game unfolds across the city's transformed landscape, Ethan discovers that some shadows are cast not from our world—and what bleeds through the cracks between dimensions hungers for more than just blood.

This revised edition includes enhanced worldbuilding, refined prose, and expanded lore to deepen your journey into the shadows of Daybridge.
