Produktbeschreibung
Debt of the Deep In the fog-choked Mendip Hills, history isn't buried; it's waiting for a signature. Elias Vance, a disgraced architectural historian fleeing a high-profile scandal in London, thinks he has found sanctuary in the crumbling remains of Blackwood Hall. But the estate he has inherited is not merely a house-it is a sentient ledger. In the village of Oakhaven, the soil has turned "bitter," the crops bleed a dark ichor, and an ancient ritual known as the Reconciliation is decades overdue. As the new Master of the Hall, Elias discovers that his family's wealth was built on a terrifying contract with the land itself: for every harvest taken, a weight of life must be returned to the marrow. What begins as a struggle to settle a neglected estate soon spirals into a global architectural nightmare. Using the "Calculus of the Marrow," Elias begins to rebuild Blackwood Hall, but the materials aren't stone and timber-they are the memories, rigidities, and very bodies of those the house consumes. From the soot-stained streets of a transformed London to the amber-encased stillness of a world perfected by alien logic, Debt of the Deep is a harrowing exploration of the price of permanence and the horror of a world that refuses to let its history rot. Author Ethan Ross delivers a masterful folk-horror epic, weaving a visceral tapestry of anatomical architecture and cosmic dread that asks the ultimate question: when the land finally calls in its Tithe, what will be left of the Architect?
