The Price of Staying Awake

In a world where the dead no longer know they're dead, someone has to remind them.
Asher Vale-a lone hunter with supernatural instincts and a past that never stops haunting him-doesn't ask to be the guardian of the border between the human and the impossible. But when the shadows begin to walk again, there's no one else willing to face them... or pay the price for doing so.
By his side, Anthony Reyes, a tech-savvy ex-priest with a broken faith and an AI on his wrist, is the only voice that reminds him all is not lost.

Together, they will fight against what shouldn't exist... even if it leaves them both empty inside.

A story of forced redemption, fractured loyalty, and the burden of carrying on when the world no longer deserves to be saved... but you do it anyway.
