In the desolate, rusting labyrinth of the Veridia port, a long-forgotten shipping container is breached, and an ancient hunger is unleashed upon the modern world.
When a series of savage, inexplicable murders plague the city, Detective Izzy Rossi is confronted with a case that defies all logic. The victims are found drained of life, the crime scenes bearing the signature of a predator that is not human. Her only lead is a mysterious thread connecting the city’s decaying underbelly to its most powerful and reclusive billionaire, Alistair Finch, a dying man sealed away in his glass tower.
As the creature of shadow carves a bloody path through the metropolis, it becomes clear it is not killing at random. It is hunting for something it lost centuries ago. And now, powerful, unseen forces, drawn by the scent of this supernatural power, begin to move in the darkness, seeking to control the ancient evil for their own ends. In a city where everyone has a secret, the oldest and deadliest one has just been set free.
