They were just two boys playing in a church when the massacre began.
Born to the same mother but different fathers, Kael and Riven survived the unthinkable, hidden inside a confession booth while their half-zombie father tore through the congregation, killing their mother and many more. Only to vanish into legend with blood on his hands and a hunger fulfilled.
Years later, the brothers live quietly atop a mountain where dead seldom roamed, but peace is just an illusion. Beneath their calm, they carry scars, secrets, and a singular purpose: to hunt half-bloods like him.
Trained by an elite organization that tracks and eliminates the infected, they move through luxury hotels, crowded malls, and sterile hospitals, seeking signs of the hidden monsters who look human but hunger for flesh. For Riven, the mission is personal. Because the darkness they fight lives inside him too and love seems impossible for his tainted heart, but nothing is impossible for the pen of God.
Born of the same cursed blood as the father he wants to destroy, Riven sometimes feels the hunger rise-sharp, violent, and unstoppable. He fights it with iron will, desperate not to become what he hunts. But when the truth emerges, the brothers must face a brutal choice:
Kill the past or let it consume them both.
A haunting tale of brotherhood, betrayal, and bloodlust, Echoes after dusk, is a post-apocalyptic thriller where love and vengeance are the last things holding humanity together.
