A FANTASY HORROR
Novella

YOU DELIGHT ME, DAUGHTER.

​

The voice thrums within her flesh, the bones of her skull, teeth and lips and tongue vibrating with it, warm and cool at once.

 

Molten, lascivious, benevolent. Mother and father and lover and god.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU MUST DO.

ABOUT SANCTUM

"You delight me, daughter."

On the eve of war, a priestess is left for dead in the ruins of her temple, the life she built reduced to ash. Resorting to a long-buried power, she heads into the desert on a mission of vengeance, one step ahead of invading armies, seeking an estranged ally and a past they thought they’d escaped.

A circle closes, a reckoning comes due. In the pit of the desert, beneath the heart of a dead star, something wakes.
