Summary

Through a series of disjointed manuscripts, diaries, and police reports, a terrifying truth emerges about a dormant cosmic entity waiting in the sunken city of R'lyeh. The narrative pieces together the dreams of sensitive artists, the rituals of hidden cults, and the testimony of a traumatized sailor. It establishes the central theme that the universe is inhabited by indifferent, god-like beings whose awakening spells doom for mankind. This foundational text defines the genre of cosmic horror.

    When ARKANE Archivist Martin Klein joins the Vatican digital archiving project, he finds an ancient letter mistakenly scanned along with the medieval papal decree Militia Dei, Soldiers of God. 
    It points to a dark secret the Knights Templar once tried to erase from existence, hidden in a medieval fortress under the heart of Paris for almost a thousand years. 
    As Martin follows the trail to the hidden Templar crypt, aided by biblical scholar Camara Mbaye, they discover something unspeakable in the vaults below Paris. 
    Who are the Soldiers of God and why must they rest until needed? 
    This is a short story featuring Martin Klein and Dr Camara Mbaye from my ARKANE world. It fits after Tomb of Relics, book 12 of the ARKANE action-adventure thriller series, but can be read as a stand-alone story.
