Qualnoth’s devastating assault on a Chicago beach. Achelius’ deadly rampage through a quiet upstate town. These horrors were only the beginning. Now, the ancient and monstrous Tiama—prehistoric predators that should have perished long before the rise of humanity—have risen, and their hunger knows no bounds.
With the Ebony Shrike organization crippled and scattered, humanity is more vulnerable than ever. Samuel, an ageless fishman who has walked among us for millennia, may be our last hope. But as the Tiama unleash carnage across the world, Samuel must confront not only these monstrous dinosaurs but also the despair and doubt of the fractured Shrike.
As ancient powers awaken and the line between predator and prey blurs, the fate of humankind hangs by a thread. Can Samuel reignite the Shrike’s lost strength and courage? Or will the endless hunger of the Tiama consume us all?
