In the world of Altrae, the line between life and death is thin. Humans commune with terrifying primordial gods, and the Dark Trinity Coalition prevents these ancient entities from bleeding into reality. This is the first installment of a gritty, violent dark fantasy series of life, death, love and redemption.
Kova Weaver lives alone in a little cottage bordering a diseased forest. Her entire life is spent in fear, revolving around a single warning her mother gave her just before she vanished:
“Keep the posts burning, or they’ll find you.”
Kova isn’t certain why she must keep the posts around her cottage burning, nor does she know who ‘they’ are. She can’t remember how all the scars across her arms and legs happened, or why all the rooms are painted with protection sigils. And as the forest’s blight closes in around her, Kova is forced to question whether the struggle to survive is worth the trouble.
Her answer comes in the form of an injured man dumped in the creek near her home.
Lain Sinclair is an excommunicated Archivist for the Dark Trinity Coalition. For a decade he’s scoured the Altraen Light Protectorates in search of something stolen from him. A skilled thaumaturgist and necromancer, he’s honed in on a blight afflicting a little forest near the zealous town of Balefore.
Lain’s thirst for vengeance battles his need of redemption, and his first encounter with the frightened, pale woman in a warded cottage sets into motion a ritual of cosmic horror neither are prepared for.
Genre: Horror
