The Sacred & Profane

Supernatural horror collides with high-stakes suspense in Jim McKenna's The Sacred & Profane.
It's never a good idea to get everything you want.

By day, Peter and Doug run a successful antiques and collectibles business, catering to those seeking the rare, the unusual, and the impossible to find. By night, they stalk their own dark desires, in ways impossible to fathom.

A sacred relic. A stolen body. A saint who will not rest.

A carefully planned theft unleashes an unspeakable force, and all those touched by the desecration are hurled into a desperate fight for survival. At its heart is Olivia, a young woman caught between loyalty and survival. Drawn into the schemes of grave robbers, she helps them loot the hallowed tomb of an obscure saint. But the theft tears open a boundary between the holy and the damned, unleashing dark power and terrible vengeance.

As retribution spreads, Olivia becomes both witness and survivor, searching for answers in a storm of violence, obsession, and dread.

And in the shadows, factions stir:

• The Marian, an enigmatic figure whose true motives-and uncanny influence-shape every deadly turn.
• A hidden order of nuns, guarding secrets buried by the Church itself.
• A coven of witches who whisper that Janine was never a saint at all.

Each holds a different truth. But the stalking malice has a will of its own.

What they take is not just bone and cloth. What they awaken is not just memory. St. Janine, a terror with the fury of a martyr and the hunger of something far older. Her vengeance sweeps outward, cutting down all who violated her tomb, dragging the living and the dead alike into a spiral of violence and madness

In this dark, unrelenting thriller, faith and blasphemy clash on the edge of the grave, and the question is no longer who will survive, but what will be reborn.

An original work of horror fiction, written for humans, by a human, with no AI.
