About This Audiobook

In a world where military service and ancient sorcery intersect, US Army Captain Dale Morton carries a double burden: the covert skills of a special operations soldier and a hereditary gift for magic passed down through generations of American craftsmen. When a black-ops mission unravels and Dale finds himself cursed and hunted by forces within his own government, he must navigate a shadowy conflict rooted in the dark legacies of Poe and Hawthorne. Pursuing him is Major Michael Endicott, a soldier-mage of Puritan lineage who cannot decide whether Dale is a rogue to be captured or an ally against the ancient evil threatening to consume American magic entirely.

The full-cast production from Graphic Audio brings this sprawling supernatural thriller to life with a rotating ensemble of sixteen performers, each voicing distinct characters across military briefings, arcane confrontations, and tense personal exchanges. The dramatized format suits the novel's cinematic pace well, making the shifting loyalties and escalating stakes easier to track across its nine-hour runtime. Listeners who enjoy action-driven fantasy with deep American mythology will find the audio format enhances the story's atmosphere considerably.
