A man of integrity in a world that has none to spare, the people who love him, and the ones who want him broken.
A lone wolf with a reputation, about to find out what his integrity is worth.
Twenty-seven years, and she never stopped trembling.
The one who stays.
Named for the enchantress of the Odyssey, and every bit as dangerous.
Targeted alongside Tristan, and caught in the same web.
First to sense when something is wrong.
Who are you when no one is watching? What does integrity look like when everything goes wrong? What does faith cost when nothing proves it right? The Epic of Elquetumba follows those questions through temptation and regret, through corruption that reaches from city offices to the highest levels of power, and through a battle between supernatural forces for the destiny of one soul and one world. Underneath all of it runs the oldest question of all: whether a man can be redeemed.
