🍀1st Place at the 2025 Four Leafed Clover Awards🍀 "What do I hunger for..." The existence of Shades are as old as history. Soul-eating entities with skin as black as ink and a presence as cold as ice. They don't have an end goal, their only purpose: To steal, kill, destroy and most of all, to Consume. One of these Shades meets Dawn, a shy, noble girl that's still coping the loss of her father, who died three years prior. In a last second decision, the Shade possesses her umbrella. All the while, making a vow, to not just watch over her as she enters a new school, but also to protect her from the rest of his species. --- What to expect: - A character focused story with a cast you'll grow to love. (Or absolutely hate) - Grim, dark moments, balanced out by comforting and cozy moments. - A story that takes place in a Medieval London-esque world that's expanded on as the story progresses.

**This book is not the final version; this is my non-edited rough draft. **** In the forgotten town of Grayer's Hollow, silence is sacred-because when it breaks, something wakes. When twelve-year-old Caleb Vayne vanishes from a school parking lot without a trace, grief coils around the community like fog on the moors. But five days later, Caleb returns... alone, barefoot, and blank-eyed, humming a tune no one's ever heard before-and no one wants to hear again. He speaks rarely. Sleeps even less. And when people start dying in the ways they fear most, some begin to suspect the boy who came back isn't quite the boy who left. Now, retired criminal profiler Avery Holt, haunted by her own demons, is pulled into a case where the lines between psychology and the supernatural are razor-thin. Teaming up with local sheriff David Rourke, she begins to unravel a conspiracy tied to the town's long-buried secret: a stretch of forest known as The Hollow, a place the old folks say hums when it's hungry. But what no one realizes is that Caleb didn't just survive the Hollow. He brought something back with him. And it only protects him.
