He paid for power with an eye. Something in the dark has started to recognize his name.
The Hollow Gospel · I
Reinhardt Holt gave up an eye for the power to hunt the things mankind was never meant to see.
He serves the Order of the Blinded Crown, a secret brotherhood sworn to face the horrors empires deny and churches bury. Their enemies do not always come as beasts. Sometimes they wear a priest's face. Sometimes they hide beneath a city. Sometimes they sing with a child's voice from under the stones.
When a young girl vanishes in the rain-drowned port city of Silverlight, Holt is sent to find her. What begins as a missing child leads him into flooded tunnels, buried cults, and the first signs of a Herald clawing its way into the world.
The deeper he descends, the more he learns: about the power waking in his own blood, the ancient Archons watching from beyond human understanding, and the price paid by every man who has ever carried the Blinded Crown.
Occult investigation · Cosmic horror · Forbidden faith · Brutal survival
Every wound teaches him something. Every victory costs more than the last. Some doors do not close once opened.
From Early Readers
The tension just builds and builds, and a couple of scenes actually made me pause and take a breath. If you're into dark fantasy or eldritch horror that actually makes you feel something, this one's worth your time.
