Overview

The moment an exorcism goes wrong, an Inquisitor becomes the very thing he was sworn to destroy. In a world bound by darkness, where demons lurk and gods acquiesce, one man teeters on the brink of heresy-walking a razor's edge between deliverance and damnation. But which side is which? In a modern world ruled by old faith, exorcisms are commonplace. But when an unexpected encounter with an abyssal Archfiend leaves Lazarus Blackwood tainted by an ancient curse, he finds himself in the crosshairs of the heretical Cabal-and hunted by the very institution he once upheld, the Holy Inquisition. Lazarus must fight tooth and nail to stay a step ahead, navigating tenuous alliances, shocking betrayals, and the unknown corruption lurking within his soul-all the while moving toward a revelation that will shake the very foundations of his faith. In the tradition of slow-burn literary occult fiction, Blackwood is a brooding theological fantasy blending gothic austerity and noir fatalism in a tale of cursed blood, forbidden power, and hidden heresy.
