The Black Altar

Beneath the world, something ancient still dreams. When wandering mercenary Garrick Vane crosses paths with a hunted witch after a brutal massacre in the city of Karth Vale, he is drawn into a nightmare buried beneath forgotten kingdoms and abandoned faiths. Ancient covens whisper of a being imprisoned below the earth known only as the Sleeper, while fanatical orders wage secret wars to prevent the return of horrors older than mankind itself.
As reality begins to fracture and impossible creatures rise from the dark beneath the world, Garrick discovers that his own blood is tied to an ancient prophecy feared for centuries. Hunted by witches, pursued by the terrifying Hollow Crown, and haunted by visions that grow more violent each night, he is forced toward the legendary Black Altar where the fate of existence itself waits below the earth.
But the deeper Garrick descends into the ancient prison beneath the world, the more horrifying the truth becomes. The thing humanity feared may never have been the true enemy at all. Dark, brutal, and steeped in cosmic horror, THE BLACK ALTAR is a grimdark fantasy novel filled with ancient gods, cursed kingdoms, forbidden magic, monstrous truths, and the terrible cost of survival beneath dying stars.
