  Reporter Freya Sinclair has always known she was different. While waiting on the outcome of an autism assessment, Freya uproots her life in Glasgow, quitting her job at one of Scotland’s top broadsheets and taking a local beat in her childhood home of Orkney. But her plans for a quiet life are shattered when human remains are exhumed by a winter storm on Orkney’s wild Atlantic coast. 
  The identity of the bones opens old wounds in the islands, and sheds light on a darker truth nobody wants to accept. As the nights draw in, Freya’s obsessive hunt for answers turns into a cat-and-mouse game, with each secret she unearths threatening her job, compromising her family, and exposing new victims to a killer who's watching from the shadows…

  In a forest stands a desecrated church, abandoned to the dark forces that fester within. What better place for a medium to seek answers from the dead? 
  At just eight years old, Tabitha Mainwater watched her best friend die. Wracked with grief, she swore never to let death steal anyone from her again. She would learn to speak to the dead—no matter the cost. 
  Two decades later, her search for answers leads her to a church that once housed a fanatical cult. It is said to be a doorway to the other side, a place where spirits linger, waiting to be heard. 
  A spirit named Orrin Riley reaches out, offering knowledge, power… and temptation. But his guidance comes with a price. He has his own buried secrets, a deeper darkness clawing to be set free. He wants Tabitha to submit to him, to help resurrect something ancient and unspeakable. And if she refuses? He will take what he wants—one way or another. 
  As reality begins to unravel, Tabitha must decide: Will she harness her true power, or become something far worse? 
  Church of Shadows is a chilling gothic horror tale of obsession, power, and the razor-thin line between salvation and damnation. Perfect for fans of Shirley Jackson, Caitlín R. Kiernan, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia, this haunting novel will stay with you long after the final page.
