Book Excerpt
Prologue
Overwhelmed with boredom, Vale stared down at his fingernails. He could only spend so much time tormenting those he encountered in the afterlife. After making them as miserable as possible, he found himself needing to search for new prey.
The fire beside him flickered and gave off a comforting heat. To Vale it felt like a warm blanket against his cool skin. He hummed a melody to himself as the fire crackled, accompanied by a chorus of screams that continued to grow more intensely.
Vale should have felt something, yet he was incapable of compassion. It made his torture of others necessary, and with no complete spectrum of true emotion, their agony provided him with a sick sort of pleasure. It was the only real feeling he had ever truly known.
He picked at his nails a little longer with a sharp instrument until they were back to their pristine condition. The one thing he couldn’t tolerate was the filth and grime that built up under his fingernails. One might consider this an oddity. After all, his experiments usually ended up being the cause of his distress.
Studying his fingernails one more time, Vale set the tool down next to a row full of other torturous devices—giving him another thrill. When so many of his experiments resulted in such beautiful messes, he could forgive himself the lapse in hygiene.
Rows of cages filled with useless souls lined the walls of his domain. They would help him to crush the mortal lives he needed to flood the earth. After the time he had spent in his dark place, he grew tired of tormenting the ones who “deserved” it—he wanted them all.
The time had finally come to bring down humanity—he wished it could be as simple as a snap of his fingers. Vale didn’t like to do things the easy way, though. No, he liked to do things the way that brought him the most pleasure. This time he was going to be known as Quinsey Wolfe. This time he would make sure the world ended in flames while orchestrating its demise and rebirth. There must be a space between his underworld and the human world, where the new souls could become immortal with true power. It would take time, but he would build this place. Then, he could discover the ones he truly wanted. Hearts would surrender, souls would suffer, and at the end of it all—he would watch it burn. From the ashes of its undoing, Vale would recreate it all in his image.
