The Darkening Ritual

Detective Alex Thorne is no stranger to darkness, but this case is unlike any he's faced before. When a series of ritualistic murders erupts across the city, each victim marked by strange symbols and arranged in unnatural poses, Alex realizes he's tracking a killer who believes in more than death—they believe in unlocking ancient powers. With each grisly discovery, Alex is drawn deeper into a web of occult symbols and whispers of a forbidden ritual, one that threatens to tear apart the fabric between worlds.

Desperate for answers, Alex enlists Dr. Evelyn Ashcroft, an eccentric anthropologist with a dark fascination for ancient cults. Together, they uncover the shadowy Order of the Abyss and its ultimate goal: a ritual powerful enough to weaken the Veil, the barrier that separates humanity from something far worse.

But as Alex and Evelyn delve further, strange visions, unexplainable encounters, and ominous signs begin to haunt them. The ritual is already in motion, and time is running out. The deeper they go, the more they realize the danger isn't just from a cult—it's from the very forces they're unknowingly unleashing.
