The Conquest of Hollow Eyes

When the Voice declared the End of Days, the world didn't just end—it transformed into something far worse. Elijah Smoke's greatest gift is also his greatest curse. Raised in strict religious schools, he learned early to hide his psychic abilities, to pray them away, to fear being labeled possessed. Five years after the Voice changed everything—when zombies rose, demons marched, and the dead refused to stay quiet—those same powers became his only value to the desperate survivors of New Virginia. They need him. They fear him. They constantly mistrust him. And Eli hates that he can't stop himself from helping anyway. Dragged on every supply run to predict danger with his foresight, Eli navigates a world where vampires roost in daylight, the fey tempt the desperate, and something else watches from beyond the fog of possibility. When a routine scavenging mission goes catastrophically wrong, Eli glimpses a shadow figure with burning eyes—an omen he doesn't understand but can't ignore. Now one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse has arrived at New Virginia's gates. The Damned Legions demand answers about something Eli saw but can't remember. And the people he's bled to protect are all too willing to offer him up as sacrifice. In a world abandoned by heaven and claimed by hell, what does strength actually look like? There will be 20 chapters in total. Subsequent chapters will be posted every other day until completion.
