 This short fantasy adventure takes place in a world where the sun rarely rises due to an ancient war between the world's two goddesses. Clashing for dominion over the skies, the world is all too often plunged into Night for several years at a time. Society perseveres, but beyond their lanterns and torches, secrets and monsters lurk the shadowblighted lands in equal measure.

When a baffling phenomenon shakes the coast, our crew of unlikely adventurers find themselves on the path to uncover one of the longest kept secrets of all -- the truth behind a time-worn myth. What will they find? What dangers must they face? Will the weight of this secret prove too much to bear?

Only one way to find out: Read Mythic: The Myth of Everlight today! 

The Cardinal Directive is a sci-fantasy apocalyptic horror/zombie horror series that has been running as serialized fiction (1 chapter every other week) on my Substack, Author's Notes, for some time now. This contains the whole of what we refer to as "Season One", or the first major arc of the series. Though technically not meant to be experienced as a "book" per se, I wanted to provide a paperback option for those interested.

The Cardinal Directive takes place on a partially-colonized Mars, where most people live their entire lives in the safety of the biodomes, and never think twice about the swathes of the vast, uninhabitable deserts that surround them. These empty, hostile expanses are known as "The Red", and they are the domain of people known as harriers. Armed with bioengineered dragons and spacesuits, the harriers have taken up the monumental task of being the red desert's temporary denizens, creating and maintaining supply lines between the different towns and cities. They alone have familiarity with the desert, some even considering it to be more like their home than the habitable zones of the planet.

The Red is host to dangers and oddities in equal measure. There is much about this world that its people don't understand -- even the harriers. It's a fact that will become glaringly obvious as a new danger emerges from the sands: one that refuses to stay dead.

Cardinal's Mars is a world of raiders, cults, cowboy-style rangers, spies, dragons, undeath, and the Unknown and Unexplainable, with capital U's. And between the rise of the undead and troubled pasts catching up to them, our cast of harriers will need to navigate them all if they're going to survive.

Two months after the start of the storm, our protagonists are still missing in the tunnels beneath Mars’s surface, and the longer it takes to find them, the more fervent their pursuers become in trying to recover them.

Though footage from the present follows this hair-raising manhunt through zombie-infested territory, the files are corrupted with videos much older — though the faces we’ll see are no less familiar...

The sci-fantasy apocalyptic horror continues!
