Every antique has a voice. Some just scream louder than others. Clara Vance only wanted to pay off her late grandmother’s mountain of debt and keep her quiet antique shop open. But the moment her skin touches a cracked, tarnished pocket watch, her reality shatters. She doesn't just see the past—she relives the terrifying final moments of a missing man swallowed by living shadows. Enter Detective Julian. Dangerously handsome, impossibly cold, and carrying secrets that don't belong in the human world. He isn't looking for standard clues; he's hunting the magical artifact resting in Clara's hands. To survive the shadows creeping out of the walls and solve a string of supernatural disappearances, Clara is forced to team up with the mysterious detective. But in a shop full of dark relics, the most dangerous secret of all might be her own bloodline... and the undeniable pull drawing her toward a man she isn't sure she can trust.
