Overview

Immerse yourself in the psychedelic, mind-bending, and multiversal realm of the Infiniuum where travelers can stitch into an infinite array of alternate universes and worlds! In the multiverse, anything you can imagine exists somewhere. It's just a matter of finding it. Nineteen-year-old Penelope Archer toils to do just that-searching for the lost remains of a cosmic entity to bring her dead mother back. But it's an impossible task on her own. Through the Infiniuum, she assembles a crew of misfits. One of which lived in her brain-a villainous telepath named Moira. But one brain can't handle them both. If they remain together much longer, Penelope and Moira will die. The only person who could help is a geneticist from yet another universe. A Victorian, steam-punk Earth filled with werewolves, surgically assembled abominations, and vampires. When Penelope and Moira arrive, someone or something has ransacked the doctor's laboratory, and kidnapped him. Worse, a vampiric outbreak rages across the continent. Now, Penelope and Moira must travel deep into the Schwartzwald-a dark forest in Europe and the heart of the vampire horde to find the good doctor and save both their lives. While Penelope and Moira bicker at each other, they'll have to work together to solve the mystery ahead of them, survive the cadre of monsters lurking in every shadow, and wrestle with the elite monster hunters who hunt them. In a race against time, humanity, and both their lives, are on the line. The Lost Zenith series is best enjoyed in order.

Reviews

""In The Ghost of the Wicked Crow, Scott Welvaert has woven together a mind-bending adventure that spans time and space, a fascinating blend of coming-of-age fantasy, interdimensional intrigue, and swashbuckling action. Ian Wilder is a character you'll want to spend time with, which works out great because this is the first book of a series."" - Allen Eskens, award-winning and best-selling author of Saving Emma, Forsaken Country, and The Stolen Hours ""Call it what you will-a ghost story, a fable, a love story, a psychological thriller-The Ghost of the Wicked Crow fits all those labels and more. It's entertaining. It's literary. It's a true joy to read, a well-built world one can't help escaping into. But at its heart the novel is a wild ride that you should buckle in for, a beautiful story built with beautiful sentences and complex, relatable characters moved forward with a plot you can't step or look away from. With this novel Welvaert has given us a gift, an entertaining tale that offers hope, something we could all use in these times. It gives us an insightful look into what it means to be human. It's a magnificent book, beautifully written and entertaining, lovely page by lovely page, a meaningful blast to read. The world just became a better place with this novel in it."" - Kevin Langton, author of Superior ""We are still in a torrid love affair with the multiverse itself. So in a time and a place where Marvel has tried to bleed the concept dry and A23 may have set the high water mark with ""Everything, Everywhere, All at Once,"" it takes a brave soul to delve into the topic these days and play around with the possibilities. Scott Welvaert is one of those brave souls. With his book The Ghost of the Wicked Crow, Welvaert boisterously sets sail with the first book in The Lost Zenith series."" - Jason Glaser, author of Double Jump
