    Summary

    Since the moment she was spawned, the being that Lilith called ‘father’ was a stranger. He was distant, cold as the glaciers of Kadath and with a laugh sharper than broken glass, and their brief interactions had made it very clear that all he desired of Lilith was for her to get out of his way.

    That was then. Now, Shub-Niggurath has vanished, leaving everyone with questions they want answers to. The being Lilith called ‘father’ is the only person in existence who might have an idea what happened, but is stuck searching for answers as well.

    The being that Lilith called ‘father’ set his path to discover what happened—and Lilith, for better or for worse, is along for the ride.

    Summary

    Name’s Parker Yang, and I hunt monsters.

    How’s not important. What matters is there’s one who I can’t beat: the Butcher, Dennis Collins, serial killer. Well, I figured out one way to get close. I hired his partner, Arthur Lester, private eye, to find my missing younger brother.

    The plan seems like it’s working great, but it’s got some snags. Luke wasn’t kidnapped this morning, but two years ago by the King in Yellow, and Arthur’s too smart to miss the discrepancy. It don’t help that Arthur’s got some damage from the King over tragedy with his kid. In fact, the King’s all over hell, because my vigilante partner, Charlie, is real fucked up from his time with the King, too.

    Look, I just want to save my city. But now there’s a researcher digging in old cult ruins and waking monsters, some goddess named Lilith and her priest Oscar who know way too damn much, and to top it off, I’m falling for Arthur. Hard.

    That ain’t a safe thing to do.

    We’re all lying. We’re all keeping secrets. And I got a bad feeling that one stray spark’s all it’ll take to light it all on fire.
