A Paranormal Thriller of Secrets, Shadows, and Survival
Secret Societies want her dead. The Vatican wants her skills. Death Gods want her soul.
All Kana Cold wants is a cold glass of rum.
When the Vatican calls with a desperate request, paranormal investigator Kana Cold knows it won't be a normal job. A man possessed by an unholy force has broken into the Vatican Archives and unleashed one of the legendary Black Grimoires-forbidden books of black magic said to be written by demons themselves.
With her mentor-the world's foremost expert on the Grimoires-long dead, Kana is the Church's only hope to recover the remaining volumes before they fall into darker hands.
But this is no ordinary case. Ancient cults, secret orders, and vengeful spirits are all closing in, each determined to use Kana's gifts-or destroy her outright. With the help of AJ, a reckless archaeologist who's too charming for his own good, Kana must cross continents, decipher cryptic clues, and survive the monstrous things born from human belief.
If she fails, the Grimoires will open the gates of Hell itself.
If she succeeds, she may uncover a truth even more terrifying.
If you love the mythic thrills of Indiana Jones, the gritty voice of Jessica Jones, or the dark imagination of Clive Barker, you'll be hooked on Kana Cold: The Black Grimoires-a globe-trotting paranormal mystery packed with occult intrigue, ancient magic, and cinematic suspense.
Fans of Jim Butcher, Linsey Hall, Shayne Silvers, Faith Hunter, and Patricia Briggs will devour this pulse-pounding series opener.
★★★★★ "Delivered everything I wanted in a paranormal thriller-mystery, mythology, and monsters."
★★★★★ "The world-building is rich, the pacing tight, and Kana is the kind of flawed hero you root for."
★★★★★ "Unexpected twists and a jaw-dropping ending. I need the next book NOW."
"I wanted to create something that blends the cinematic adventure of Indiana Jones with the gritty charm of Jessica Jones-but through the lens of global mythologies that rarely get their due. The Black Grimoires are inspired by real-world forbidden texts, Vatican legends, and Japanese folklore-woven together into a supernatural mystery that questions faith, fear, and destiny."
