Pel lost his faith in the church; but he's about to find something worth fighting for.

After exposing his order's slave trafficking, former priest Pel seeks refuge from a raging storm in the port city of Geth Rell. He wants nothing more than solitude and tea.

Then Dzokaya walks into the tavern.

The half-vedzryyf'len's parents have been murdered, and she's convinced the unnatural storm is connected. Pel reluctantly agrees to help investigate, only to discover the tempest isn't meteorological. It's demonic.

As corpses pile up and an otherworldly horror stalks the streets, Pel and Dzokaya race to expose the conspiracy behind the killings. But stopping an ancient evil will cost Pel everything, and give him a power he never believed he could wield.

A fast-paced dark fantasy that delivers a complete story in one book. Perfect for readers who love gritty supernatural horror, morally complex characters, and hard-won redemption.
