Death Whispers of the Etherwave
The world ended in 1712. It happened all at once, and the next day no one knew what to expect. Nations, lands, even entire cultures were turned upside down overnight. Refugees from another world now call Earth home. Everything was changed, if not transformed - including people.
People like me.
There are those who plan to use what happened to their advantage, no matter who they hurt. They can try.
But they’ll find us standing in their way.
If Books Could Kill… They’d Start with Him
Doctor Pedro Sangre thought it would be simple: recover an old book, the Codex Luminari, from a half-sunken ruin, survive the swamp, then walk away.
But it was never really that simple.
When the Codex Luminari is stolen, Pedro finds himself at the center of an impossible plot with a horrific conclusion. Unless he can uncover who’s behind it all first.
As necrotic magic spreads across Jamaica, Pedro and his companions find themselves hunted by murderers, pirates, and death golems. Worse still, a mysterious figure stalks them from the shadows, eager to tear through anything in his way… maybe even death itself.
