They Walk in Darkness
In the dark of the Great War blackouts, London belongs to the shadows. Fabian Fisher knows that better than anyone. A card sharp with more debts than friends, he made a fatal mistake by cheating a notorious occultist. Now something is hunting him through the darkened city, the night is full of teeth…and his only hope of survival lies with a man he can't stand.
Esoteric publisher Jim Appleby believes Fabian possesses unmatched clairvoyant power. He’ll protect Fabian from the night in return for his help uncovering a conspiracy threatening King and country. Unfortunately Fabian’s visions refuse to work when anyone actually needs them. And if he finds Jim infuriating, the feeling is entirely mutual.
As zeppelins drone overhead and London descends ever deeper into fear, desperation drives Jim to attempt a ritual that changes Fabian forever—and Jim with him. Bound together by forces neither fully understands, the two men must navigate a dark world of secrets, treachery, and unexpected desire.
But in the shadowed city, nobody can be trusted. And the closer Fabian and Jim grow, the more dangerous their tenuous connection becomes…
