Knights, Witches, and the Vanished City

Deaths plague the ancient city of Valtera. And the city has vanished without a trace.

At least that is what outsiders believe. But an unspeakable event and a curse dating back a century still haunts Valtera and its people. A curse such as this has not been encountered before, and the dwindling population of the city has grown desperate.

Now the people of Valtera are being killed. Similar victims were mentioned in Valtera's history, and the dead only have one thing in common. They all carry the curse mark—a burn spiraling around their arms.

Meanwhile, Calec of the Woods hunts for the murderer of Serileen's mother, but on his venture, he is abducted and tempted. Tempted so deeply that he becomes haunted by a face, a name, and the imploring eyes of a woman.

Calec must seek out the vanished city, its rich history and secrets, its curse, and its victims.

And he must come to realize that whatever lies behind this curse has become fixated on him, or he will be the next to die.

Note: Each Calec Horror Mystery is a complete story without a cliffhanger ending, but there are some secondary questions that continue throughout the series. These stories can be read and enjoyed in any order.
