💻 The Verderer — Ebook 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 has big plans for their newest ankou and his deathly bandalore.
Life as a servant of death comes with challenges — none more exasperating than his daemon guardian, Pitch.
He may look like heaven, but he’s making Silas’s life all kinds of hell.
Arrogant, egotistical, and possessed of a fearsome appetite for violence (and tea cakes), Pitch is testing the limits of Silas’s patience.
But when the Blight begins to stir once more, the pair are called back into action — their path leading into the haunted Forest of Dean.
There, new horrors await... and old truths will rise from the shadows.
Can Silas rely on his guardian’s protection?
Or will the daemon prove to be the most dangerous encounter of all?
🕯️ Perfect for readers who love:
- Victorian gaslamp fantasy
- Queer slow-burn romance
- Sharp banter and unlikely partnerships
- Gothic mystery and monstrous magic

OMG, what did I just read? Don't mind. Things are becoming clear, or falling apart here. i just slammed my reader to get Pitch. Now I know I did not really hurt him. This dude seems to like it, sort of.
This book takes off where the first one landed. Now I feel a little less sorry for Silas for having to endure Pitch. To be honest: they seem to be the right pair to accomplish something. What? This is the reason I want to continue reading.
The story took me by surprise at some point. I just gets stranger and I really want to know why these two characters belong togheter.
