Book Five: The Chronicle of Wasted Time (coming June, 2030)

The Reckoning

It was never just a town. It was never just a cult, or a mummy, or a missing cat. Beneath the black delta soil, an old and patient power has been turning history toward this moment for four thousand years, and the turning has finally come.

A mummy. A witch. A werewolf. A vampire. A made thing dragged back from the dead. The girls this world refused to see now stand as the only thing between it and the dark that waits below, and to win, they'll have to learn what every avatar before them learned too late: the old gods always come back, and the best you can hope for is a long pause.

Not everyone walks out of the delta. The Rising is the harrowing finale of Black Chaos Comes Again: a story that ends not with the world saved, but with the survivors deciding what comes next, ash still clinging to their jackets, recording an ending that isn't good, but is real.
