The Gospel Of Hungry Things
(Book #2 in the The Root And Hunger Chronicles Series)
Eldermere was never meant to survive.
What began as a brutal struggle between humans, vampires, and unspeakable horrors has transformed into something far more disturbing: balance.
Hunger has been measured. Categorized. Disciplined.
Predators no longer stalk the city's shadows like chaos. They walk its streets like governance. Vampires preach inevitability from pulpits once reserved for hope. Monsters multiply, not as accidents of darkness, but as manageable outcomes within an evolving system.
And the citizens of Eldermere endure.
Families remain intact, though survival has rewritten the meaning of loyalty, love, and mercy. Moral compromise is no longer a weakness. It is the price of existence. Every choice feeds something. Every kindness starves something else. To live is to participate in an economy of appetite where blood, fear, obedience, and sacrifice circulate as currency.
Yet equilibrium is a fragile thing.
Beneath the illusion of order, tensions coil. Ancient forces stir. Alliances fracture. The line between human and monster thins with every passing night.
The Gospel of Hungry Things is a haunting continuation of the Children of the Blackened Root saga, a dark and hypnotic descent into a city that did not conquer monstrosity, but learned to live beside it, shape it, and ultimately become indistinguishable from it.
Because Eldermere is no longer fighting the darkness.
It is becoming it.
