The moon is present, yes, and the forest, and the sudden terror of teeth in the dark—but these are merely the outer garments of something far more intimate. Here the werewolf is not simply a creature that prowls; it is a consciousness divided against itself. By day, the mind arranges its thoughts neatly—work, love, regret, the steady ticking of ordinary hours.

A whale sings beneath the floorboards for what was buried but never gone. In Strange Companions, animals speak in riddles, offer prophecies, and hold mirrors to the hidden corners of our humanity.

In the Empire of Carpathia, judgment is swift—and silence, absolute. When a sealed Directive sends the Administrator to the remote fortress of Velgrade Keep, no details accompany the mission. Only one order: execute the condemned. What he finds instead is a man already in chains—a man who surrendered without resistance, speaks too calmly, and knows things he shouldn’t. The silence echoing through the corridors feels too measured. And the man at the center of it all isn’t fighting back.
