There are things in San Francisco that refuse to be caged.
A brutal killing sends shockwaves through San Francisco's shadowy underworld. This wasn't random savagery, however. It was targeted, and it was meant to be seen.
Still recovering from her long journey, psychic medium Lena Alan wants nothing to do with monsters. But when the crime begins to echo through the Veil, she recognizes a familiar pattern. Something is breaking, and the damage won't stay contained for long.
Alongside private detective Jesper MacMillian, Lena descends into a part of the Demimonde defined by violence, rage, and long-festering resentment. At the center of it all is Daniel Zerubbabel, a man who may be victim, perpetrator...or both. Lena and MacMillian are forced to confront an uncomfortable reality: not every danger can be stopped, and not every monster wants to be spared.
In a city built on buried histories and fragile compromises, they must decide what responsibility looks like when containment fails, and what it costs to stand in front of something determined to break free.
GRAVEYARD SHIFT is a literary urban fantasy about haunted cities, unstable monsters, and what happens when the cage bars snap.
