They Left God in the Alley
The Blood That Built the Block
In modern-day Baltimore, where ambition, loyalty, and desperation grind together like broken glass, Draven Endwriting is both a dealer and a protector — a man who keeps his neighborhood alive even as it eats itself. By night, he, his brother Ronan Eclipsedword, and their friend Lucraen Hollowpage move through corners and trap houses, settling debts, keeping the peace, and hiding their real trade: they hunt the invisible. They are the Deerstalkers that protects the streets, where God has abandoned them.
There are things beneath Baltimore’s asphalt older than the city, older than Earth itself — whispers, sigils, and shadows that surface through missing people, houses that rearrange themselves, and dreams that all end in the same word: Avidyraen⧬Voimhyss.
