Watchers in the Dark

Elias Fetch makes a living cleaning up other people's supernatural messes, yet even he has limits. Fire runs under his skin, but his roommates, a headless Dullahan and his witch of a girlfriend, keep him grounded. Nothing prepares him for Louis, a soft-spoken stranger who arrives with a problem that feels wrong in all the ways Elias has learned to fear. Louis insists something ancient is stirring around him, leaving drained bodies and spiritual ruptures across New Orleans, and he begs Elias to sever the connection before it kills again. What starts as a routine job unravels into a web of secrets older than the city itself. Nightmares creep into daylight, strange creatures stalk the streets, and Elias and his found family are pulled into a conflict involving fallen angels, fractured identities, and a past Louis refuses to name. As Elias digs deeper, he discovers that the forces gathering around Louis aren't hunting him, they're bound to him by a history soaked in guilt and catastrophe. With the city teetering on the edge of mythic collapse, Elias must rely on evolving powers he barely understands and allies who have everything to lose. The truth lurking beneath Louis's calm exterior threatens to reshape the world, and Elias is the only one standing between an ancient reckoning and the people he loves. In a battle woven from fire and forbidden celestial history, Elias must decide what can be saved and what must be burned away in order to survive.
