After a horrific tragedy, Eli Brooks leaves the safety of his hometown and journeys across a brutal frontier where the dead wander the dark, but the thing leading them is far worse.
WHAT WAITS IN THE SHADOWS
The dead rise after sunset.
Beyond the silverdust wards and timber walls of the Brindlecreek settlement, the frontier has become a graveyard haunted by the withered-violent undead creatures driven by hatred for the living. Most survive by following one rule:
Never get caught outside after dark.
After a horrific tragedy, Eli Brooks leaves home alongside his father on what should have been a routine trading journey. Instead, they discover a terrifying entity known only as the Velcren: an intelligent nightmare capable of commanding both the living and the dead.
As the frontier begins to collapse, Eli must fight his way through the dying wilderness to warn those still left standing. But survival comes at a terrible cost, and every mile toward home drags him deeper into a nightmare that refuses to die.
For readers who love grimdark fantasy, frontier horror, dark fantasy adventure, and emotionally devastating survival stories, What Waits in the Shadows is a brutal tale of grief, guilt, and the terrible cost of surviving another night.
