The Blackwood Lullaby

<p><strong>The Blackwood Lullaby</strong></p><p><em>She was born of sorrow suckled on silence and cradled in a grave...</em></p><p>When war-weary journalist Elias Vayne arrives in Black Hollow to debunk the whispers of a bleeding grave he expects superstition and shadows. What he finds instead is a wound in the world-an ancient hunger wrapped in the body of a stillborn girl... and a name that should never have been spoken: Nycera.</p><p>As reality splinters and time turns inward Elias is drawn into the folds of a mother's grief a village's curse and the devouring gaze of a creature that is neither god nor ghost-but <em>something older</em>. With each passing night the line between Elias and the monster thins until he is no longer chronicling horror-he <em>is</em> part of it.</p><p>Lamia is a symphony of sorrow birth and blood-an intimate cosmic horror where grief births gods lullabies open portals and nothing stays buried.</p><p><em>Some children bring joy. Some bring ruin. But the child of Nycera brings forever.</em></p>
