Aria Montgomery thought she was just a talented therapist. She was wrong.
When Aria notices strange shadows moving independently around her trauma patients,
she dismisses it as exhaustion. But after one of her patients dies mysteriously and the
shadows grow more aggressive, she can no longer deny the truth-she sees what others
cannot.
A cryptic journal left by her deceased mother reveals a shocking family secret: Aria is the
last in a line of Guardians, individuals born with the ability to see, communicate with,
and manipulate the physical manifestations of human trauma and secrets. These
shadows range from harmless wisps to dangerous entities capable of violence and
manipulation.
As more deaths occur and Detective James Blackwood begins investigating the
connection to Aria's patients, she must quickly master abilities she never knew she
possessed. With guidance from the eccentric bookshop owner Madame Verna, Aria
learns the ancient techniques of shadow whispering-but is it enough?
When her newest patient Samuel Reed's shadow reveals itself as an ancient entity with
its own agenda, Aria faces an impossible choice: embrace her Guardian legacy and risk
her own sanity, or watch as the shadows claim more victims.
In a race against time, Aria must navigate the thin line between helping others and
taking on their darkness, all while protecting her professional reputation and her own
life from the shadows that have marked her family for generations.
The Shadow Whisperer is the first book in the gripping Keeper of Shadows series,
blending psychological thriller with dark fantasy and historical mystery elements.
Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, V.E. Schwab, and Olivie Blake.
