    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    When folklorist Arthur Ashworth inherits a decaying London townhouse, he uncovers more than just ancestral secrets. Ashworth House stands upon a Nexus Point where the Tenebrous Veil between worlds is dangerously thin, and a primeval cosmic entity, the Bone Collector, strains to break through. 
    As shadowy hounds and grief-devouring spirits plague the gaslit streets, Arthur learns of the Umbral Covenant, a powerful occult society led by the enigmatic Lord Thorne. They are orchestrating a grand ritual during the Noctis Major alignment, seeking to tear open the Veil and unleash unimaginable horror upon an unsuspecting city. Aided by the tenacious journalist Eleanor Vance, Arthur must delve into forbidden Lamplighter lore and confront his own family’s terrifying legacy of madness. 
    With the apocalyptic ritual looming, Arthur’s desperate gambit to activate an ancient protective ward may be London’s only hope – or the key to his own damnation beneath the Veil of the Bone Collector. Can he seal the breach before all is lost to ancient, unknowable evil?

    When Billa feels eyes following her every move in her cottage on the edge of the estate, she dismisses it as paranoia—the lingering trauma of her kidnapping. But as the sensation intensifies, she reluctantly considers the one place she swore she'd never move into: the mansion. 
     
    Meanwhile, new mother Kenzi is harboring secrets that even she may not fully understand—memories hidden away by time, trauma . . . or something far darker. As she searches for her missing psychiatric files from Radley Institution, disturbing questions emerge. Was her time there longer than anyone has admitted? And what really happened in the abandoned theater on the grounds? 
     
    When Billa's kidnapper resurfaces with more demands, the family's fragile peace shatters. Carol, the devoted auntie, grows increasingly protective of the newborn as strange occurrences plague the estate. 
     
    As the walls of Brannon House close in, one thing becomes clear—the past isn't just haunting them, it's hunting them. 
     
    Will they uncover the truth before history claims another victim . . . or are the Brannons bound to bleed for their legacy?
