The Blackwood Lullaby
"She was born of sorrow, suckled on silence, and cradled in a grave..."
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.
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
something older
. With each passing night, the line between Elias and the monster thins, until he is no longer chronicling horror-he
is
part of it.
Lamia is a symphony of sorrow, birth, and blood-an intimate cosmic horror where grief births gods, lullabies open portals, and nothing stays buried.
Some children bring joy. Some bring ruin. But the child of Nycera brings forever.
