A haunting gothic suspense novel about a woman who inherits more than just a house...
When Emma Thorne retreats to her late grandmother's Victorian home in the quiet town of Millbrook, Maine, she only wants peace ? a chance to rebuild her life after a painful divorce. But the house on Ashwood Street has other plans.
At first, it's the small things ? shadows that don't match their sources, whispers in the dark, the feeling of being watched. Then the impossible begins to happen. The shadows move on their own. They call her name.
Emma soon discovers that her grandmother wasn't just a beloved teacher ? she was a Keeper, a guardian of the fragile boundary between the living and the dead. Now that responsibility falls to Emma... and something ancient has noticed.
An entity known only as the Devourer is awakening ? a creature that feeds on grief, fear, and the lingering sorrow of lost souls. To stop it, Emma must uncover her family's hidden legacy, learn the rituals of the Keepers, and summon the courage to face the darkness itself.
Armed with her grandmother's journals, an iron bell, and a strength she never knew she possessed, Emma steps into a world where every shadow hides a whisper ? and every whisper carries a warning.
The Keeper of Shadows is a haunting gothic supernatural novel about family secrets, inherited duty, and the power of light in even the darkest places. Perfect for readers who love ghost stories, atmospheric suspense, and emotionally rich paranormal fiction.
