Lies are hard to keep.
The life of Marcus Weaving used to be a good one. He loved educating the young about the nails and barbed wire of the human psyche. Then everything came tumbling down.
Marcus lived in a morbid purgatory after the massacre, wearing his son's crimes in the public eye. Infected by shame and grief, he was admitted to The Barbary hospital for treatment. Life there was safe, everything fashioned to a tight schedule, until it was attacked in the middle of the night, by a type of evil he only thought existed in the tapestries of churches.
He manages to escape with another patient, Lily, and they take refuge at Mary's Seminary College. Marcus learns that her brother, Gabriel, is missing. The violence and bloodshed cannot be coincidental.
Something is hunting them.
Marcus attempts to make sense of what has happened. He is forced to question his own beliefs and his place in this existence.
How much more can his mind endure, before it implodes?
Is there really a world behind this one?
How sharp are its teeth?
