Deep in the jungle of a forgotten island, something ancient is being summoned. Penny Alcott-Lee is a rising academic star-brilliant, methodical, and firmly rooted in science. Her project to observe an uncontacted tribe from afar is meant to be a triumph of technology over myth. There are no gods. No monsters. Just culture, waiting to be studied. But when her mentor insists on bringing in Ryan McKenzie-a quiet, battle-scarred ex-soldier with a past steeped in covert operations-Penny reluctantly agrees.
Ryan's job is simple: infiltrate the island and discreetly install the surveillance equipment. No contact. No risk. Just precision work.
But then he vanishes.
The drone feed catches only fragments-shadows shifting in the canopy, furtive movements between trees. Then it locks onto Ryan: disarmed, trussed up. The tribe is chanting. And they're dragging him toward a sacrificial altar.
Penny doesn't believe in demons. Ritual is superstition. But when she ventures into the jungle to rescue Ryan, she finds herself at the centre of something far older-and far more terrifying-than myth. The islanders are calling to something. Something that listens. Something that answers. As ancient forces stir and reality begins to warp, Penny must confront the impossible: are these just the delusions of a lost tribe-or has Penny unleashed something humanity forgot to fear? Idle Gods is a chilling descent into cosmic horror, where science unravels and ancient forces stir. Perfect for fans of H.P. Lovecraft, Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation, and Peter Clines Threshold series.Also from
