Description

Jack Carrigan is a washed-up detective, drowning in whiskey and haunted by a case he couldn’t solve. Five years ago, his partner vanished without a trace, leaving behind a trail of bodies carved with strange sigils — symbols tied to an ancient, fragmented grimoire known as theCodex of Ascension. Since that night, Jack has been living in the shadows, a man with nothing but his own bitterness to keep him warm.

But when the same sigils resurface on the bodies of new victims, Jack is pulled back into a world he thought he’d left behind — a world where power is granted through blood-soaked rituals and deadly rites inscribed on pages torn from the Codex.

Now, with the city’s criminal underworld tearing itself apart for the scattered pages, Jack must learn the rules of a game he never wanted to play. But in the hunt for the Codex, every rite performed brings him closer to the power he seeks — and the monster he’s trying to avoid becoming.

Gravenhurst is a city of secrets, and the Codex is a book of sins. And as Jack steps deeper into the occult underworld, he’ll discover that the line between justice and vengeance is written in blood.
