"BRIGHT: Desert Shadows" plunges readers into a shadowy war beneath the surface of history, where ancient horrors awaken during the Tripolitan War of 1805. When Lieutenant Marcus Augustine and his multinational squad of elite soldiers confront pirates off the Barbary Coast, they discover their enemy wields powers older than civilization itself. As corruption spreads through Augustine's wound like liquid darkness, he finds unlikely allies in Erik Thorsson, a Swedish warrior who speaks prayers to old gods, and Giovanni Romano, a young Sicilian whose grandmother's "folk magic" holds more truth than the Church will admit. Together with Hassan, a mysterious former imam who knows too much about things that lurk in deep waters, they race to prevent cultists from opening gates to realms that should remain forever sealed. But the price of victory is measured in blood and sacrifice. As ancient cities rise from desert sands and things with too many eyes swim through Mediterranean depths, Augustine and his companions must decide how much of their humanity they'll trade to save humanity itself. This standalone chapter in the BRIGHT series delivers a pulse-pounding fusion of military action and cosmic horror, where blessed steel meets eldritch abomination, and soldiers of the light wage war against darkness older than time. Perfect for fans of supernatural military fiction who love their action seasoned with Lovecraftian terror and historical depth. In this war for humanity's soul, some lights burn brightest just before they're extinguished forever.
