The asylum remembers what they cannot.
They Woke in the Dark – Book One of the ODS Archives
Trapped in a decaying asylum on a fog-shrouded island, four strangers claw their way free from a nightmare of torture and twisted flesh. Lucendra—calm and deadly, armed to the teeth. Axyl—towering, charming, and infected with something hungry. Corwin—brilliant and broken, with magic that rots from the inside out. Nyx—gentle, grounded, and shadowed by a cosmic entity that whispers in her blood. The asylum is alive. The staff and patients have become monsters. And something worse waits in the dark—the Smiling Man, a dreamlike predator who walks the halls of memory. They don’t remember who they are, or why they’re here. But the island remembers. And it wants them back. A gothic horror fantasy drenched in fog, madness, and ruin, perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth, Silent Hill, and The Magnus Archives.
