Eidolon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798215236093)

Impoverished and pregnant, a desperate mother gains the attention of a dark entity, and a wish is made on a cursed object. Wishes of a young woman for her unborn child might be innocent on the surface, but in the hands of a death-god forever hunted by ghostly protectors in every country, no fulfilled wishes come without a terrible price.

And no one will endure the consequences of such a wish more than the baby whose existence is now inextricably linked to the otherworld. Young Emerick Sulzbach will have his future carefully shaped by a shadow world he can't see. Potential parents are dissuaded from adopting him. Hopeful young suitors suffer broken bones from inexplicable accidents.

When Bohemia's legendary guardian wolves come down from the mountains for their otherworldly hunt, dark events spiral around Emerick in such a way as to reveal not one, but two entities shadowing his steps. Because in addition to an unseen protector, there are also those distant, mournful cries from the lake: seeking him out, reaching out to him from beyond.

Eidolon is the third standalone novel of the Curiosities series, a collection of gothic fantasy tales about desperate wishes bound in cursed artifacts.
