The supernatural isn’t hiding in the woods. It’s getting recruited into the FBI.
Their first case could break them both…
Eleri Eames thought her career as an FBI analyst was over after her last case got her committed for psychiatric help. When she’s offered a chance to become an agent for the secret NightShade division, it feels like a second chance. But her new partner may be hiding more than she is, and her chance to start over starts to disturb her.
Donovan Heath was content in the morgue, his uncanny abilities making him a sought-after medical examiner. When he starts drawing unwanted attention, that offer from the Bureau starts looking like a solution. NightShade needs the unusual edge he brings. Donovan understands what he is makes him a target, but Eleri might figure him out before he can decide if he even trusts her.
Thrown together on their first assignment, they’ll have to track a charismatic cult leader, solve a high-profile kidnapping, and navigate a world where nothing is as it seems. As NightShade’s mysteries grow darker, the line between what they hunt and what they are blurs.
Will their secrets save them or destroy them?
