THE HUNGRY DARK

A Silas Salt Novel—Book Two

Children are disappearing from Savannah. And something ancient is keeping them.

Three months after the events that nearly destroyed him, Silas Salt wants nothing more than to rebuild his life in peace. But when children begin vanishing from locked bedrooms—leaving only frost on the windows and parents shattered by grief—peace is no longer an option.

The police are baffled. The patterns make no sense. But Silas recognizes the signs of something far older than any human predator: the Broken Shepherd, a corrupted angel who has been collecting children for millennia, building a flock of souls in a realm between life and death.

To stop it, Silas will need power he doesn't have. Power that only one person can teach him.

His dead father.

Richard Salt was a monster in life—a dark practitioner who sacrificed his own daughter for power and drove his wife to her grave. Now his ghost offers Silas the forbidden techniques that could save eight innocent children. But every lesson comes with a price, every dark gift carves away another piece of Silas's soul, and Richard always has an angle.

With time running out and the Shepherd's door closing forever, Silas must decide how much of himself he's willing to lose to save children he's never met.

Some darkness, once embraced, never lets go.
