In the shadowed halls of the Vatican, a secret order exists to protect the world from the unholy and the unknown. When reports of missing women and whispered legends of a monstrous serpent-known as the Zmey-emerge from the remote mountains of Macedonia, the Ordo Occultis Sancti dispatches an unlikely trio to uncover the truth.
Father Gabriel Leone, a devout scholar and exorcist, Captain William Harker, a pragmatic soldier haunted by his past, and Anastasia Draculesti, a fearless vampire hunter with a dark legacy, must face a growing cult devoted to the Zmey. As they navigate treacherous terrain, decode ancient riddles, and battle their own demons, the trio uncovers a chilling connection between the creature, a forbidden obsidian flame, and a centuries-old prophecy.
But the Zmey is no mindless beast-it is cunning, malevolent, and eager to rise. As the cult's grip tightens and the serpent's shadow looms ever closer, Gabriel and his companions must race against time to prevent an ancient evil from consuming the world.
Shadows in the Mist is the first thrilling installment in the Ordo Occultis Sancti series, a blend of supernatural intrigue, folklore, and relentless adventure that will leave readers breathless and craving more.
