The Creatures Lurk
An enemy that moves faster than the eye can see. A kingdom that has forgotten how to fight. And an ancient power that may be more dangerous than either.
For generations, Matrika has known peace behind its towering walls. But a neighbouring kingdom has fallen, and a young scout named Lakh brings a terrifying warning: the Enarxi are coming.
Strange, merciless and impossibly fast, the invaders have destroyed everything in their path. With his inexperienced army hopelessly outmatched, King Williem Caldran turns to the Veilhost - warriors once dismissed as myths with the potential to stand up against their new foe.
Yet no one truly understands where those powers come from.
As Lakh discovers abilities of his own and two brothers are drawn into the Veilhost's dangerous trials, fear and betrayal spread through Matrika. Mysterious creatures begin to emerge from legend. And the kingdom's greatest secrets threaten to unravel just as war reaches its walls.
To defeat the approaching monsters, Matrika must trust the ones already among them. But what if they've been fearing the wrong enemy all along?
The Creatures Lurk is the first book in The Veilhost Trilogy, an epic fantasy saga of brutal battles, hidden powers, political intrigue and ordinary people forced to become something extraordinary.
