Twenty years after the murder of her mother, homicide investigator, Calista Bailey, is still left with more questions than answers.
When a familiar emblem shows up at a crime scene, Calista is willing to do whatever it takes to prevent the trail to her mother's killer from growing cold again. Unfortunately, that means traveling halfway across the country to the crime-ridden streets of New York City, where bodies have been dropping left and right.
Calista has one shot at infiltrating the den of all snakes, knowing full well that there is more at stake than her own life if her cover is blown. Her only objective is to get in and get out as fast as possible, but when one of the snakes takes an interest in her, Calista finds her lines between right and wrong beginning to blur.
Who exactly is Jaesun Hahn, and why does the tattoo on his back match the symbol Calista found next to her mother's corpse?

Shadows of the Night
"Nothing good ever came without sacrifice. Some of us just found clarity in the darkness of those shadows." *** Nyx Monroe grew up with terrifying tales of golden-eyed beasts with nightmarish fangs and murderous tendencies but as time passed, she forgot about them, convinced they were just scary stories. When her father, Azeil Monroe, is tasked with solving the murder plaguing the coastal city of Celacali, it's a chance at a fresh start. However, Nyx discovers everything is not what it seems beneath the veneer of the popular tourist location, also known as the City of the Dead. Something dark resides there-death and carnage reincarnate. Plunged into the city's shadows, Nyx stumbles into the open arms of notorious Orion, Kotori, Niko, and Kade-the boardwalk is their blood-stained domain. They've been waiting for twenty-five years to exact their revenge for a debt long overdue, luring Nyx and her father back to where it all began. Whilst they distract Azeil with one murder case after the other, their focus shifts to Nyx. Soon, there's nowhere left for her to run-to hide-from the true beasts of legend, or from the darkness of her past.Complete
