As a child, they tell you monsters aren't real-and that you shouldn't be afraid of the dark.
As a teenager, Marek Tomlinson learned the hard way that it was all bullshit-Monsters are real. And they love the dark.
Now a New York City detective, Marek thought his worst days were behind him-until a string of brutal murders leaves him questioning everything. The evidence defies logic. The bodies are unrecognizable. And the deeper he digs, the more something inside him begins to stir-something ancient, volatile, and not entirely human.
Enter Agent Kaycee Gordon: fearless, brilliant, and assigned by the FBI's secretive Special Crimes Unit to take over the case. She's seen things most people couldn't handle. But Marek isn't like most people. And when they're forced to work together, sparks fly-in and out of combat.
As they unravel the truth, Marek and Kaycee uncover an ancient conflict being waged in secret- between violent realms determined to conquer Earth, and Wardens sworn to stop them. With the barrier between worlds failing and supernatural creatures slipping through, Marek must confront the truth about who he is-and what he's becoming.
He didn't ask for this. He never wanted to be special. But the conflict is building towards all-out war, and Marek may be the only one who can stop it.
Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Sarah J Maas, and Jim Butcher, the first book in The
Wardens of the Rift series delivers epic battles, slow-burn romance, and a gritty,
supernatural world on the brink of collapse.
