The Verderer - Pitch & Sickle Book Two (Paperback)

📖 The Verderer — Paperback Edition

Book Two of The Diabolus Chronicles
A gothic gaslamp fantasy of monsters, mischief, and a bond as dangerous as it is unbreakable.

⚔️ The Story

Silas Mercer is a dead man walking.

And the mysterious Order of the Golden Dawn have big plans for their newest ankou and his deathly bandalore.

Life as a servant of death has its challenges — but none so infuriating as his daemon guardian, Pitch.

He may look like heaven, but he’s making Silas’s life all kinds of hell.

Arrogant, egotistical, and armed with a ferocious appetite for violence and tea cakes, Pitch is the bane of Silas’s second life.

Since their brush with Black Annis, the pair have been recuperating in a quiet village — but peace never lasts.

The unstable Blight is spreading again, and new monstrosities are rising from its rot.

Now, Pitch and Sickle are back in the saddle and bound for the haunted Forest of Dean.

But can Silas trust his guardian’s protection?
Or will Pitch prove to be the most dangerous encounter of all?
