About This Book

Jeremiah Hunt has been broken by a malevolent force that has taken his young daughter and everything else of value in his life: his marriage, his career, his reputation. Desperate to reclaim what he has lost, Hunt finally turns to the supernatural for justice.

Our Review

A desperate father makes a dangerous bargain with the supernatural in this gritty urban fantasy that explores the brutal cost of vengeance. When a malevolent force shatters his life, taking his daughter and destroying his marriage and career, Jeremiah Hunt is left with nothing but a burning need for answers. His journey into the occult is born not of curiosity, but of utter desperation, a last resort for a man with no other options. This setup grounds the paranormal thriller in a deeply human and relatable tragedy, making the supernatural elements feel earned and consequential.

The novel's power lies in its unflinching portrayal of a broken man's resolve, transforming a classic quest narrative into a haunting exploration of loss. Hunt is not a typical hero but a profoundly damaged individual, and his willingness to traffic with dark forces for a chance at justice gives the story a compelling, morally complex edge. Readers who appreciate their urban fantasy steeped in personal tragedy and hard-boiled determination will find a protagonist worth rooting for in this shadowy, high-stakes world. The result is a darkly compelling tale that lingers, questioning just how much of one's humanity is worth sacrificing for a glimpse of the truth.
