The 12 Layers: Gamer vs Gods & Demons

WHEN THE WORLD ENDED, HE WAS ALREADY DEAD. Marine Sergeant Quinn Carter wakes up on a highway littered with the wreckage of a military convoy—burned-out husks of vehicles, torn bodies, and a silence so heavy it chokes him. The last thing he remembers is kissing his wife, Anna, goodbye before deployment. Now, the world is a graveyard, and the air reeks of blood and rot. But he’s not alone. The things that move in the ruins aren’t the shambling dead of old horror stories. They’re fast. Smart. They mimic human voices to lure survivors out. When Quinn hears a child’s desperate cry for help, he almost falls for it—until he sees their milky-white eyes and the way they move like a pack. THE FIRST BITE ISN’T THE END. IT’S JUST THE BEGINNING. Fighting his way through the wreckage, Quinn finds a lone survivor—Sarah Monroe, a fellow Marine with a tire iron and a haunted past. She tells him the truth: the world didn’t end with bombs or a virus. It ended with Systemic Immune Failure (SIF)—a plague that didn’t just kill people. It turned them into something worse. Now, the infected hunt in packs, using eerie mimicry to draw out the last survivors. And they’re getting smarter. ESCAPE ISN’T AN OPTION. IT’S A LIE. Trapped in a decaying city with the horde closing in, Quinn and Sarah must navigate a landscape of betrayal and desperation. The military remnants—led by a shadowy figure named Vance—aren’t here to save anyone. They’re rounding up survivors for reasons Quinn can’t fathom. And every step towards home—towards Anna—brings him closer to a truth more horrifying than the infected. BECAUSE THE REAL MONSTERS AREN’T THE ONES WITH THE MILKY EYES. With time running out and the horde learning from every attack, Quinn must decide: Does he fight for a world already lost? Or does he run—straight into the heart of the nightmare—to find the woman he loves? A PULSE-POUNDING, UNFLINCHING THRILLER THAT REINVENTS THE APOCALYPSE—WHERE THE REAL TERROR ISN’T THE INFECTED… IT’S WHAT THEY LEAVE BEHIND. PERFECT FOR FANS OF THE LAST OF US, BIRD BOX, AND THE ROAD. WILL YOU SURVIVE THE FIRST NIGHT?

Some secrets are meant to stay buried. Some strings should never be pulled. Seraphina Elowen Vail thought she was simply chasing her dream of becoming a detective. But when she is recruited into Oblivion Division, an underground spy organization hidden in the shadows of Iceland, she realizes she’s stepped into a world where nothing is as it seems. Tasked with solving a gruesome murder, Seraphina’s sharp mind makes her a key player in the case—until she discovers she might be the next victim. As she delves deeper, she uncovers an eerie connection between the murder and a mysterious underground organization obsessed with human intelligence. At the center of it all stands Ezrin Theon Holloway—a man as cold as the Arctic winds, yet dangerously compelling. He watches her, tests her, and plays a game only he understands. Beneath his controlled exterior lies a possessiveness that tightens like a noose around her fate. But Seraphina is not easily controlled. She has her own secrets—secrets that even she doesn’t fully understand. When she realizes that her own mind may be the key to the mystery, the lines between hunter and prey begin to blur. In a world where power is everything, where trust is a weapon, and where love and obsession are two sides of the same coin, Seraphina must decide: Will she escape the strings that bind her? Or will she let herself be caught in a web of unseen strings?
