About this title

Synopsis

The killings are precise. Ritualistic. And they mean something.

When a series of meticulously executed murders begins drawing attention across the city, Alexander and Yiyao find themselves pulled into a case that refuses to behave like a normal investigation. The killer is methodical, prepared, and operating according to a design that predates anything in the modern record.

A design with roots in the oldest darkness in the world.

As Alexander's psychic gifts strain against the weight of what he's seeing, and Yiyao confronts echoes of a past she thought buried, the investigation forces them both toward a question neither wants to answer: how much of yourself can you sacrifice to understand a mind like this — and still come back?

The Witch-Bane is the second book in the Death Keeper Chronicles, a darkly theological urban fantasy series where the monsters are real, the stakes are eternal, and redemption is never cheap.
