Told through multiple points of view, the novel traces a cursed bloodline of wolf-men, blood mages, and broken warriors bound together by a supernatural plague rooted in a forgotten war. At its center is Liz Campbell, a former Marine whose body is broken by war and heroin, and whose fate becomes entangled with a hidden criminal hierarchy governed by ancient curses and brutal rules. As she stumbles through the wreckage of addiction, she collides with Desmond O’Connell, an aging Wolf King fighting to hold together a crumbling dynasty while resisting Stage Four—the final transformation that strips away what remains of his humanity. As their lives intersect and the plague mutates, a long-buried force resurfaces, threatening to ignite a war no one truly survived the first time. To stop it, they must unravel the spell that bound their bloodlines together—but in a world built on power, loyalty, and addiction, not everyone wants to be cured.

A dark fusion of noir crime and literary horror, THE CRIMSON TRAVELER is a violent, unsentimental novel about inherited violence, family as obligation, and the monsters we carry within us.

It will appeal to readers of Gabino Iglesias, Joe Hill, Christopher Buehlman, Stephen Graham Jones, and Gillian Flynn who are drawn to character-driven horror that is unsparing, morally complex, and emotionally grounded.
