BONEHAMMER AND THE MOONLIGHT AFFLICTION

Some monsters wear familiar faces.

Novrim Runebrow traded his sword for a plow after the Emperor's War, seeking peace in a quiet village where the worst dangers were drought and wolves. But peace is a fragile thing, and the nightmares that lurk in darkness care nothing for the lives of men.

When savage attacks shatter his world, Novrim finds himself drawn into a hunt that will take him from ravaged villages to forgotten monasteries, from the glittering halls of the Imperial Capital to the mountains where ancient magic still sleeps. The creatures he pursues are not mindless beasts... they think, they plan, and they remember old grudges with perfect clarity.

As the bodies pile up and entire settlements vanish into blood-soaked ruins, Novrim must forge alliances with the desperate and the damned who carry their own scars from battles against the darkness. Together, they follow a trail of slaughter toward a confrontation that will demand everything they have... and more than they can afford to lose.

Because in the shadowed places where monsters are born, the line between hunter and prey grows dangerously thin. And some hunts change you in ways that can never be undone.

A stunning new voice in dark fantasy for readers who like their heroes broken, their monsters intelligent, and their victories written in blood.
