Synopsis

From the universe of the acclaimed Ethelium Trilogy comes a haunting new Sci-fi horror. An unknown vessel is found drifting in the galactic shipping lanes. A warship is sent to investigate. The ship appears to be dead. Empty and lifeless. Or so it would seem. Close by is the planet, Phantarus. A rain-soaked world that turns quietly under the watchful eye of a black hole called Solkara Minor. Nothing escapes the black hole’s pull. Nothing, until now. Unexplained deaths begin at an industrial processing plant. A handful at first. Easily dismissed as accidents. Then there are a few more. Frightened workers are told that the perpetrator has been caught. They were lying. With a growing concern from within, Thaleon Industries quietly asks for help. When Agent Vaul arrives, he discovers a pattern beneath the violence — one that points to something sinister. Something old has found a way back into the light. It does not kill without reason. It will not stop now its begun. The truth is awake. And it needs to feed. A chilling fusion of science fiction and gothic horror, Phantarus descends into the darkness — and brings something back with it.
