Shadows in the night

By Scarlette de Beaumont

Nia Moreau works the night shift at Touro Infirmary in New Orleans. She believes in science, in clean diagnoses, in what can be measured and explained. She does not believe in monsters.

Then something screams outside her window.

The sound is not human. It is not animal. And no one else hears it.

The same week, a wounded stranger collapses in the alley behind her building. His name is Kael. He doesn't sleep. He doesn't eat. And he heals too fast.

Nia knows something is wrong.

What she doesn't know is that Kael was sent to watch her.

For eight months, he observed her life in silence - her rituals, her grief, the altar to her dead mother. He was given six words: Watch. Assess. Report.

He was never supposed to touch her.

But something in Nia is waking up.
Something older than her mother's secrets.
Something that powerful men have been waiting for.

And now the screams are coming back.

Set against the haunted beauty of New Orleans, Shadow in the Night is a dark, atmospheric supernatural thriller about inheritance, obsession, and the dangerous line between being protected... and being watched.

Perfect for readers of slow-burn paranormal fiction, gothic tension, and morally complex immortals.
