Beneath the streets of Edinburgh, an ancient evil waits. Each year, the Grendsluaghโa prehistoric monster of insatiable hungerโdemands a human sacrifice in exchange for the cityโs continued prosperity. A secret society known only as the Cabal has overseen this sinister ritual for centuries, binding Edinburgh to a grim legacy of terror.
When ex-military search and rescue officer Walker Kaneโs estranged daughter Emily is taken to sate the Grendsluaghโs appetite, he plunges into a race against time through a treacherous underworld of danger.
Aided by a mythology-obsessed librarian and a daredevil urban explorer with secrets of her own, Walker and his makeshift team must face nightmares at every turn to reach Emily before she is devoured. The deeper they delve into Edinburghโs serpentine catacomb, the more their resolve is testedโby the mutated monsters of the volcanic depths and the violence of the Cabal.
To save his daughter, Walker will sacrifice everythingโeven his own humanityโin a heart-stopping confrontation with the monster at the heart of the labyrinth.
A stand-alone action-adventure horror novel from USA Today bestselling author J.F. Penn. Join the exploration into depths that were never meant to be disturbed. The secrets of the CATACOMB are waiting to be unearthedโif you dare.
