    The Gathering Dark

    About this audiobook

    The Gospel of Shadows enabled the Catholic Church to control all manner of supernatural beings for centuries. When the book was destroyed - and the ruling body of the Church with it - it enabled the Shadows, the vampires of legend, to learn the hidden truth of their triple nature: part human, part demonic, part divine.

    But it also weakened the barriers that exist between the worlds, and now beings of pure evil are breaking through - creatures from other dimensions for which Hell is just a name.

    Peter Octavian, once a powerful Shadow, now restored to humanity, is the only man with sufficient knowledge to stop them. Aided by an earthwitch, a vampire, and a priest, and calling on the magical forces of mother nature herself, Octavian stands between the Earth and apocalypse, as entire cities are plunged into the abyss.
