The Veil is thinning. The city is breaking. And something ancient is waking up.
In a rain-soaked Seattle wired with secrets and shadows, Alex Demetriou serves as a Gatekeeper—part of a hidden order that keeps the horrors of the other side at bay. Bound by tradition. Armed with ritual. Trained never to bend.
But now the rules are shifting.
A strange digital plague is crawling through the city’s tech, infecting minds and machines alike. Despair hums in the static. The Veil that separates this world from the next is fraying—and whatever lies beyond it is starting to bleed through.
To stop what’s coming, Alex will have to break sacred laws, unearth buried sins, and confront a legacy darker than he ever imagined. Because some enemies aren’t strangers.
Some are family.

About the author
Adad Rallis
Ever since he was a kid, Adad Rallis believed there was a secret world hidden inside our own. He read old myths and wondered what would happen if those monsters and heroes were real today. Now, he writes stories about that.
He loves writing about heroes who start with nothing and have to fight against powerful bad guys. His book, Echoes, is about a world with Gates that monsters come from and the Hunters who fight them.
He gets his ideas from the secret stories of his city and wonders what might be hiding just out of sight.
