“All five victims were strong swimmers.”
Elena Vasquez stared at the photographs spread across the desk. Five bodies. Five drownings. Five identical marks on their wrists—finger-shaped, inhuman, wrong.
The fog outside the harbor window pressed closer, thick and watchful.
Elena had investigated forty-seven paranormal cases in six years. She knew the difference between coincidence and a hunting pattern.
And something ancient was hunting in Ashford Bay.
Worse—she could feel it watching her back.
Dr. Elena Vasquez is a paranormal investigator who works alone—by choice and by necessity. Logical. Methodical. Closeted. She’s called to a fog-shrouded coastal town in Maine after five experienced swimmers drown under impossible circumstances.
The police want answers.
The town wants reassurance.
And Elena wants the truth.
What she finds instead is Thessaly.
Tall. Pale. Watching from the edges of crime scenes. Not human—not entirely. Thessaly has lived in these waters for centuries, protecting the bay from things far worse than drowning. And now something older, darker, and far more dangerous has arrived.
The problem?
The only way to stop it…
is to trust the very monster Elena was trained to hunt.
As the investigation deepens, lines blur between predator and protector, science and myth, fear and desire. Elena must confront not only the creature stalking the bay—but her own isolation, her buried identity, and the undeniable pull toward a siren who has spent 300 years believing she was unlovable.
Because this time, the greatest danger isn’t the thing in the water.
It’s what happens when two women decide not to face the darkness alone.
