Yet, his triumph turns to terror as he confronts the grotesque and tragic being he has brought to life.

    Some men fear the dark. Asher Alder sells the light that keeps it at bay. 
    Asher is a master alchemist, peddling luminous oils to frightened villagers living on the edge of the uncanny woods. But his unparalleled bravery on the monster-haunted roads is not born of courage—it is born of an absolute, chilling emptiness. Asher feels no terror, no grief, and no love. He is a perfectly calibrated machine, traveling the continent to harvest the world's most terrifying beasts for profit. 
    In Tears in the Void, the breathtaking second volume of The Covenant of Quiet Beasts, a whispered rumor sends Asher deep into an abandoned, fog-choked valley in search of a legendary creature. It is a towering entity of pure, suffocating shadow—a beast that extinguishes flames simply by drawing near and devours the ambient moonlight. 
    Armed with volatile chemical explosives and heavy iron traps, Asher expects to face a ruthless apex predator. Instead, what he finds in the ruined cobblestone square will shatter his mechanical understanding of the world. The shadow-beast is not hunting; it is mourning. And as the creature's agonizing, earth-shattering grief washes over the dead valley, Asher is forced to confront the terrifying void within his own chest. 
    How do you kill a monster that possesses more of a heart than you do? 
    Immerse yourself in John Newbill’s dark, atmospheric world—a gothic fantasy masterpiece that blurs the line between man, beast, and the lingering echoes of love.

    The story is recounted by the protagonist, Count Antoine de C, in the first person. Hundreds of years ago, Antoine's noble ancestor was responsible for the death of a dark wizard, Michel Mauvais. The wizard's son, Charles le Sorcier, swore revenge on not only him but all his descendants, cursing them to die on reaching the age of 32. The protagonist recounts how his ancestors all died in some mysterious way around the age of 32. The line has dwindled and the castle has been left to fall into disrepair, tower by tower. Finally, Antoine is the only one left, with one poor servant, Pierre, who raised him, and a tiny section of the castle with a single tower is still usable. Antoine has reached adulthood, and his 32nd year is approaching. His servant eventually dies, leaving him completely alone, and he begins exploring the ruined parts of the castle. He finds a trapdoor in one of the oldest parts. Below, he discovers a passage with a locked door at the end. Just as he turns to leave, he hears a noise behind him and sees that the door is open and someone is standing in it. The man attempts to kill him but Antoine kills him first. His dying words reveal that he is none other than Charles, who actually managed to successfully fabricate the elixir of life, enabling him to personally fulfill the curse generation after generation.
