Eclipse: the Silence of Heaven - Hardcover

For eighteen months, a volcanic winter swallowed the sun. Sanctum Eterna is starving, and it has started looking for someone to blame.

Veyne was once Brother Sebastian, a Watcher of the Outer Cloister, part of an order of monks trained to fight when prayer wasn't enough. He tended the dying and buried his brothers one by one until faith gave him nothing back. The dead of a village he misjudged still ride with him. He knows better than anyone that monsters can be mistaken for men, and men can become monsters. He didn't come to Sanctum Eterna for redemption. He came for the fire, and for whatever is waiting inside it.

What's waiting is Seraphine, betrayed by her own blood and reborn into something the Church has no name for, and Kharion, an ancient force that has waited centuries for exactly this kind of darkness.

As the city drags the "unrepentant" through its streets in chains and priests beg a sky that no longer answers, faith curdles into something far more dangerous than doubt. Veyne, Seraphine, and Kharion collide in a reckoning that will decide whether Sanctum Eterna's last true believers survive the dark, or whether something else entirely inherits what's left.

Set during the real historical catastrophe of 536 AD, when a volcanic winter plunged the world into darkness for eighteen months and civilizations collapsed, Eclipse: The Silence of Heaven is gothic vampire horror built from real history, religious dread, and a very human capacity for cruelty.
