Shadowkin: The Collector of Shadows

In the faded town of Drelwich, Detective Ezra Mallin is pulled back to the case that wrecked his career and nearly broke his mind. Six years ago, Caroline Rowland disappeared without a trace. She wasn’t the last she was the first.

Now another child is gone. The same signs. The same silence. And under the rotting boards of the Rowland house waits a cellar sealed in gray light a room with no shadows.

Ezra isn’t who he was when he first stood there. Guilt dogs him, truth drives him, and this time the trail leads to vanishing evidence, townsfolk with empty memories, and sketches no one admits to drawing.

As past and present knot together, Ezra faces questions that don’t make sense. How do victims vanish without a fight? How can names be erased, wounds remain raw, and records show nothing?

He’s not the only one in the dark. The deeper he digs, the closer he comes to what some call the Collector and the more his own past coils tight around the case.

In Drelwich, forgetting keeps you alive. Remembering could take everything.

When the light returns, what lingers in the room without shadows?
