Unlocked

Mara Wolfe is the best investigator the Utah State Bureau of Investigation has. She's also on the verge of being fired.

Ten partners in four years. A file full of complaints. A closure rate no one can touch and a stillness around danger that makes people deeply uncomfortable. When her lieutenant finally runs out of patience, he reassigns her — to the weird cases. The ones nobody can explain. And to a civilian consultant she didn't ask for, doesn't trust, and can't stop thinking about.

Tobias Crane walks with a cane. His eyes speak of things better left unsaid. The dragon head carved into that cane is neither decoration nor just a carving.

Their first case together: six people found wandering Utah's Parowan Gap at dawn. No injuries. No memory. No longer wholly human.

What finds Mara at the end of it will take her somewhere her Marine training, her badge, and her instincts never prepared her for.

The old world was always more than myth. It's been waiting. And something just kicked open the door.
