The Hunt for Niedreid

[This edition does not include the main character’s dialogue accent]

- A Numen Chronicles Interlude Story -

To forge the armour needed to stand against the Numen, Alucard and Zalith hunt an Aegis. But within hours of fighting a demi-god, they are dragged into a labyrinth of snow fiends, spider queens, and a bargain with an angel better left forgotten.

Yet for Alucard, the battles outside are nothing compared to the war within-fractured memories, the truths of his identity, and the fear of not being enough for the mate who sees him as everything.
