Some secrets demand a price. Some guardians are born from necessity.


Sidney Lowell thought the worst was behind her. With her mother and grandmother trapped beyond the dimensional portal in Silver Hollow’s ancient forest, she’s accepted her role as the crossing’s reluctant guardian. But when the portal begins appearing erratically — no longer bound to the dark of the moon — Sidney’s world starts unraveling in ways she never imagined.


The electromagnetic chaos rippling through Silver Hollow draws federal attention, and Dr. Elena Vasquez arrives with her Dimensional Anomaly Protection Initiative team, equipped with technology that can detect Sidney’s emerging psychic abilities. As DAPI closes in, classifying her as a potential national security asset, Sidney discovers she’s inherited far more than just the ability to see magical creatures — she’s a light-bringer, capable of manipulating interdimensional energy itself.


Ben Sanders stands by her side as cryptozoologist turned protector, but even his support can’t shield Sidney from the shadow stalkers emerging from the destabilized portal. These dark entities feed on magic and thrive in darkness, drawn inexorably to Sidney’s growing power. When they begin terrorizing the town, Sidney realizes she’s not just the guardian of the crossing — she’s become the target.


With a nomadic drifter carving ancient symbols into the forest trees, an ambitious physics student threatening to expose Silver Hollow’s secrets, and federal agents closing in, Sidney faces an impossible choice. She can hide and let the shadow stalkers consume everything she’s sworn to protect…or use herself as bait to lure them away from the people she loves.
