"Ever since that day, it haunted her. Like dull blades sawing through flesh, that one memory grated through her mind, and sometimes she could feel herself slipping away."

With two distinct paths, Azygos follows Marlowe's and Sloan's interweaving stories. Sloan and his family have been tracking his mother's killer for as long as he can remember. As time passes with no answers or closure, the resentment and hatred in his family grows to a breaking point.

Marlowe and her family must return home to Portland after she recklessly commits a grave mistake while hunting. Her guilt and their judgment only intensify, but upon a chance meeting between the two, things begin to change. Finding comfort and warmth within each other, they forge a connection. But as people are murdered and secrets are told, their bond agonizingly twists toward its final challenge.

With their lives colliding, the solace they find within each other may only be a disguise for their darkest nightmares.

In this novella, J.H. White crafts a gritty new imagining of the current vampire trope. Each chapter of this contemporary and paranormal fantasy uncoils and delivers as it artfully interlaces two distinct story arcs.

Blending urban fantasy with just the right amount of horror and dark elements, this first installment in the Tiber Series grabs the listener and won't relent. Azygos is a delightfully excruciating journey which will leave you aching for answers.
