Synopsis

The Gospel of Shadows enabled the Catholic Church to control all manner of supernatural beings for centuries. When the book was destroyed - and the ruling body of the Church with it - it enabled the Shadows, the vampires of legend, to learn the hidden truth of their triple nature: part human, part demonic, part divine. But it also weakened the barriers that exist between the worlds, and now beings of pure evil are breaking through - creatures from other dimensions for which Hell is just a name. Peter Octavian, once a powerful Shadow, now restored to humanity, is the only man with sufficient knowledge to stop them. Aided by an earthwitch, a vampire, and a priest, and calling on the magical forces of mother nature herself, Octavian stands between the Earth and apocalypse, as entire cities are plunged into the abyss.

Christopher Golden will always have a soft spot in my heart. Why? Because when I read the first two books of this Shadow Saga back in the nineties, they pretty much blew me the f*** away. I thought the characters were delightfully historical, especially because it was real historical and interesting......more

With this book, the series starts shifting from horror to urban fantasy while remaining very dark, Dark Urban Fantasy/Horror if you'd like. Pretty much going from Necroscope to Dresden. 3.5/5......more

Goodreads review by Shell on June 17, 2021

I love Golden. I hope this book was just a product of it's time because it was a mess. The plot surrounds "hell" stealing parts of Earth, so Octavian and crew has to save it while avoiding corrupt priests that want to kill them. There were some really cool ideas, but it felt like the wasn't a focus......more
