Vein of Molten God

Deep beneath the Nevada desert, the heat isn't just a physical force-it's a verdict. Nevada, 1893. Silas Graves is a man whose reputation was buried long ago in a collapsed shaft. Blacklisted and desperate, he accepts a suicide mission: lead a crew of outcasts into the deepest silver mine in the territory to breach a wall that shouldn't exist. When the dust of the final blast settles, they don't find silver.
They find a vast, obsidian-lined cathedral of suffocating heat, miles below the earth. A sudden collapse seals their only exit, turning the cavern into a geothermal oven. As the temperature rises and their water boils away, the crew begins to unravel. Silas soon discovers that the "Molten God" isn't a metaphor born of heat delirium. It is a breathing, pulsing reality. The obsidian structures are not rock, but a cage for something ancient that radiates heat as it wakes.
As his men begin to shed their skin and their humanity in a feverish attempt to appease the fire, Silas realizes they weren't sent to mine silver-they were sent as fuel. In Vein of Molten God, Gideon Hollow delivers a claustrophobic descent into hell where the greatest threat isn't the darkness, but the fire that has been waiting for eons to be released.
