Cold Sacrament

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Hunger is an ancient god, and it has finally decided to speak.

Yukon Territory, 1885. Dr. Arthur Penhaligon is a man stripped of his pride, seeking refuge from a scandalous past in the most desolate corner of the world: Oakhaven. But the Arctic is not a place for redemption; it is a place of judgment.

When an unprecedented blizzard buries the outpost, cutting off all supplies and hope, the community begins to fracture. Led by the charismatic Father Silas, the starving villagers turn to a new and terrifying gospel delivered by the freezing wind. They believe that to survive the endless night, they must partake in a 'Cold Sacrament'—a ritual of flesh and blood that blurs the line between man and beast.

As Arthur performs gruesome autopsies on his neighbors, he realizes the wounds aren't from wolves. The town isn't just surviving; they are undergoing a horrific metamorphosis. And as the aurora borealis flares with an impossible, malevolent light, Arthur discovers the most terrifying truth of all: the villagers weren't just praying to survive. They were calling out to something ancient in the ice. And it has answered.

Inspired by true accounts of frontier starvation and 'Arctic hysteria,' Cold Sacrament is a visceral journey into the limits of human depravity and the awakening of a cosmic nightmare.
