Book 1 of the completed Paternus Trilogy
Even myths have legends.
Described as American Gods meets The Avengers and Supernatural meets The Lord of the Rings, Paternus combines myths from around the world in a modern story of action and intrigue that is urban fantasy on the surface, but so much more at its core!
Terrific! Paternus is intelligent, intricate, suspenseful, and epic. -Nicholas Eames, Gemmell Award winning author of Kings of the Wyld and Bloody Rose
Ashton's story is a crucible in which myths are melted and remade to thrilling effect. -M. R. (Mike) Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts and the Felix Castor series
And not all legends are myth.
When a local hospital is attacked by strange and frightening men, Fiona Patterson and Zeke Prisco save a catatonic old man named Peter-and find themselves running for their lives with creatures beyond imagination hounding their every step.
With nowhere else to turn, they seek out Fi's enigmatic Uncle Edgar. But the more their questions are answered, the more they discover that nothing is what it seems-not Peter, not Edgar, perhaps not even themselves.
The gods and monsters, heroes and villains of lore-they're real. And now they've come out of hiding to hunt their own. In order to survive, Fi and Zeke must join up with powerful allies against an ancient evil that's been known by many names and feared by all. The final battle of the world's oldest war has begun.
