The Corpse-Dust Legacy
by Melvin Long
Elara is a Janitor, a supernatural cleaner tasked with erasing the bloody evidence of Umbra City's hidden predators. Her life is a neat ledger of dissolved corpses and scrubbed memories. But when she discovers a victim unlike any other—a shriveled, weightless husk drained of all life—the ledger is thrown into chaos. This new monster, the Desiccator, leaves a mess even the ghouls won't touch. Now, caught between the wrath of the ancient vampire covenants and the desperation of a new species, Elara must unravel the secret of the corpse-dust before it buries the city in a war of whispers and shadows.
