Rituals in the Night (Paperback or Softback)

Welcome to Odder, Alaska, emphasis on ODD.

Nineteen-year-old David Warren has spent the last year haunted by a single night. A reckless search for the supernatural ended with his friend losing an arm to an impossible beast. Now, guilt drives him back into the abandoned corners of Odder in search of answers, and forgiveness.

Instead, he finds something else.

After a violent encounter with a monstrous creature, David begins to change. He’s becoming something frightening, a creature of the night with transformative powers and a hunger he barely understands. His new condition ties him to a dangerous and alluring woman, drawing David into a forbidden world he was never meant to see.

As David struggles to control what he’s becoming, he finds himself the target of a powerful, dangerous figure. Tony Hart, a ruthless industrialist, is hunting for a mysterious spellbook that could doom everyone he loves. The truth leads back to a dark ritual performed by people closer to him than he realizes.

With Tony closing in, a relentless monster hunter on his trail, and ancient magic threatening to tear the town apart, David must uncover Odder’s buried secrets before the night claims him completely.

If the spellbook isn’t found, the ritual will finish what it started, and Odder won’t survive the darkness.
