Blood in The Shadows: The Sentinels

A monster hunter. A red-eyed vampire. A conspiracy that threatens both their worlds.

Maya Ortiz has dedicated her life to hunting the creatures that lurk in the shadows of New Harbor. As a Sentinel trained by the elite Night Watch Academy, she’s armed with silver daggers, unwavering resolve, and the rare gift to see through supernatural glamours.

But when her mentor vanishes and the powerful Council assigns her to eliminate a lethal vampire, Maya uncovers a truth more terrifying than any monster she’s been trained to fight.

The vampire she’s hunting—Elisabeta, with her haunting crimson eyes—claims the Council has been infiltrated by ancient entities that feed on human consciousness itself. The warehouse district murders Maya was sent to investigate? They’re not random killings, but calculated eliminations of anyone who gets too close to the truth.

Now Maya faces an impossible choice: trust the creature she was born to kill, or remain loyal to the organization that raised her. Because beneath the city’s streets, something is stirring. Something that has been patient, methodical, and hungry for far longer than any vampire or werewolf.

In a world where allies and enemies wear familiar faces, Maya must decide who she can trust—before she becomes the next target.

Perfect for fans of urban fantasy featuring strong heroines, supernatural conspiracies, and unlikely alliances. “Blood in the Shadows” is the explosive first novella in The Sentinels series.
