Dive into the darkness of a world where evil is seductive and beautiful, where the Beckoning promises pleasure to the hedonist, glory to the vain, and power to the ambitious. Where death is a promise of eternal beauty and pleasure.
All for the small price of one's soul.

On the eve of his rite of passage, young Jan is caught outside the protective walls of his village. He endures a harrowing night, escaping the mindless, undead horrors known as the nohetka. But his relief turns to gut-wrenching despair when he returns home to find Sommerstone a smoldering ruin, his family and friends slaughtered by the unholy power called the Beckoning. Left with nothing but the clothes on his back and a soul scarred by loss, he is found by the Tair—a grim brotherhood of nomadic warriors who have all lost someone to the darkness.
An oath sworn. An immortal enslaved. A darkness that hungers.
Sep has made a promise to the Dachai, the ancient and enigmatic beings whose power shaped the world itself. He will free Fruur, one of their own, from the malevolent grip of Malasephus and the Beckoning, a force that has twisted Fruur into something monstrous. But freedom has a price Sep never anticipated.
Fruur cannot die. The Beckoning sustains his immortal body, fueling him with dark power while whispering in his mind, compelling him to hunt, to kill, to feed the endless hunger. He is both prisoner and monster, victim and predator. To break the Beckoning's hold might mean Fruur's death, his failure could shatter the world.
Tobias Baxter has finally achieved everything he's worked for; tenure at a prestigious university and recognition as a leading expert in Greek mythology, only to receive a devastating cancer diagnosis that puts it all in perspective.
But when Eotenes, an ancient god erased from human memory, appears with an impossible proposition, Tobias's carefully ordered world of academic research collides with living myth. The invisible gods who hold reality together are disappearing, and only a dying professor who has devoted his life to studying the divine can find them. Now Tobias must race against both his failing body and the unraveling of existence itself, discovering that some legends were never meant to be merely studied, they were meant to be lived
