When children start vanishing across the city, Detective Matthew Hook isn't just chasing shadows, he's following a trail his father left behind before disappearing years ago.
But this case doesn't lead into back alleys or hidden rooms. It leads to a place no one believes is real anymore: Neverland. Twisted. Broken. Drenched in fog and ruled by something ancient hiding behind a familiar name, The Shadow.
With the help of Jess Darling, sharp-tongued, fire-hearted, and unknowingly connected to Neverland's tragic past, Matthew crosses through the veil and into a world where time has teeth and memory is a weapon. There, the lost aren't just forgotten... they're hunted.
Trapped in a place where stories rot and dreams bleed, Matthew discovers that his father lives but that's only the beginning.
The fight for the lost children has only just begun.
