The crypts of gods, long dead, are being ransacked. Nature whispers secrets in hushed tones to the beings who will listen. Prophets call out warnings with each breath of power they speak into existence. Ghosts haunt. Shadows roam. And the Devil waits for his due. Kieran Gimble is used to the ebb and flow of the universe. He’s been around long enough to know nothing ever stays the same. Then again, nothing much changes either. And yet, his own world is full of unknowns, including kidnappings and a mate who won’t give him the time of day. Ginny Zolanski is broken.

The shadows are closing in and the worlds are unraveling all while Ginny, Kieran, and those at Shadow Lodge try to solve the newest mystery: who’s abducting locals and what do the Light Skröm have to do with it? 110,000+ words
