When she walked in, the past followed. In the dark streets of New York City, private investigator Michael Ryder has spent centuries hiding from the war he can never escape. When a woman named Gabi enters his office, hunted and with no memory of who she truly is, Michael is drawn into a conflict older than the city around them. A forgotten symbol. A rising body count. A power that both Heaven and Hell fear. As ancient enemies close in and lost truths awaken, Michael and Gabi must fight to survive a city where shadows breathe and every choice burns. Because some falls are chosen. And some are earned. When She Walked In is the first novel in The Forgotten Flame, a supernatural noir series of redemption, memory, and blood set against the neon lit grit of New York.
