What if the apocalypse isn't coming... but is already here?
Dalton James is just trying to survive his grief. Nine months after his wife's death, he's at a hunting lodge retreat when reality itself begins to unravel around him. The walls pulse. Shadows move independently. And a dying stranger passes him a divine mission that defies belief.
Six of the seven biblical seals have broken, and Dalton has been chosen as a Warden-a divine guardian tasked with preventing the apocalypse as the final barrier between humanity and annihilation weakens by the hour.
As Dalton struggles with his impossible new reality, he reluctantly joins forces with Susan Becker, an archaeologist whose exhibition of the Book of Enoch has unwittingly accelerated the seal's deterioration, and a disheveled amnesiac known only as "The Trashman"-a mysterious figure whose true identity remains hidden even from himself.
Together, they must outrun both human cultists and supernatural entities while racing to reach Sanctuary-the last bastion against demonic forces. But the Legion's most powerful agent-the terrifying Carrion King himself-will stop at nothing to break the seventh seal and usher in the end of all creation.
As reality itself begins to unravel, Dalton faces an impossible choice: embrace a divine purpose he never wanted or watch everything-including what remains of his humanity-crumble into nightmare.
The Carrion King is a heart-pounding supernatural horror thriller in the tradition of Adam Nevill's The Ritual, Victor LaValle's The Ballad of Black Tom, and the cosmic horror of Laird Barron, featuring:
- A grief-stricken protagonist thrust into a war between celestial powers
- Reality-bending cosmic horror that questions the nature of existence
- A desperate journey through increasingly nightmarish landscapes
- A race against apocalyptic forces where faith itself becomes a weapon
Perfect for readers who enjoy supernatural thrillers with apocalyptic stakes, cosmic horror elements, and emotionally resonant character journeys.
Enter the world of The Carrion King-where the veil between worlds has already torn, and what waits on the other side hungers for us all.
