Between The Shadows

Raven Blackwood exists in a dual-state modern fantasy world where humans, mythical creatures, fae, ancient legends, and hidden magical societies coexist beneath the framework of twenty-first-century civilization. The world is divided into two interconnected realms: Topside, where humanity lives unaware of the truth, and the Otherworld, where magic and myth thrive beneath the surface. Though distinct in culture, both realms are bound by the same modern laws, and every citizen human or otherwise is expected to obey them.
Freshly promoted to detective with the New York Sigil Police Department, Raven Blackwood walks the line between both worlds, investigating crimes that threaten the fragile balance between humanity and the supernatural. Still struggling to understand the mysterious powers awakening within her, Raven is determined to prove herself despite feeling as though the very world she's sworn to protect is turning against her.
When a string of ritualistic murders begins claiming victims across both Topside and the Otherworld, it appears to be just another investigation.. until one of Raven's closest friends suddenly vanishes without a trace.
Now the case is personal.
As the body count rises and long-buried secrets begin to surface, Raven is drawn into a conspiracy older than the city itself. Every answer leads deeper into a maze of lies, forgotten bloodlines, and dangerous magic. Alongside the enigmatic Lucien Vale, whose own past is shrouded in darkness, Raven must uncover the truth before time runs out.
But some mysteries were buried for a reason.
And some paths, once walked, never let you return.
