A Song of Death
About this ebook
In the shadowed valleys of the Transylvanian mountains, silence is not peace—it is a warning.
After Nora's twin brother vanishes beneath the surface of an idyllic Transylvanian mountain lake, she starts digging into the lake's dark history, uncovering whispers of a vengeful guardian of an ancient treasure and traces of doomed Soviet military expeditions. In her quest to uncover rituals buried in forgotten lore to free her brother's trapped soul, she must race against a ruthless organization that tears through the mountains in search of the treasure. To prevail against human evil and a force far older and hungrier, Nora will have to find the strength to face her inner demons and greatest fears. But the creature beneath the water has been singing its song of death for millennia—and it has never returned a soul it has claimed.
About the author
Cristian writes supernatural suspense and atmospheric horror rooted in the forgotten myths of the Carpathians. Drawing on decades of experience in law enforcement and intelligence analysis, he crafts intricate plots and haunting scenarios that make the supernatural feel unsettlingly plausible.
His novels form the Carpathian Nightmares cycle, a collection of standalone stories set within a shared mythological landscape across the mountains bordering the Transylvanian plateau. Blending crime, dark folklore, and psychological dread, they unfold in cities, shadowed forests, and silent mountains—where ancient legends refuse to stay buried, and the uncanny lurks just beneath the surface of the modern world. His work often explores the fragile boundary between human darkness and older forces that never truly die.
When he’s not resurrecting forgotten myths and monsters, he contends with one of his own: Blue, a chubby, perpetually grumpy tomcat who serves as both muse and critic.
