The Seventh Age: Dawn
Mike Auburn dangles above the city of Chicago from the beams of a half-built sky-scraper. He is seconds from plummeting toward the circuit board of buildings and streetlights below, but oblivion is not what he seeks—it’s the dead.
Obsessed with discovering evidence of the afterlife, Mike’s death-defying stunts have brought him closer than ever to lifting the veil of reality. However, his ventures to the edge have not gone unnoticed, and a boss within a tenebrous organization by the name of O’Neil seeks to recruit him to their cause: preparing the city for impending Ragnarok, the end of the world as they know it.
Before long, a world ruled by scientific method and rational thinking is challenged by the supernatural, luring the dead, the damned, and the demons that have long awaited the return of magic, and they will stop at nothing to bring it back for good. Suddenly, Mike is at the center of a battle between the forces of reason, of good, of evil . . . and everything in between.
“Unrelenting, unfiltered urban fantasy with a two pack-a-day habit. Heinz has crammed more supernatural spectacle per square inch than is probably legal.”
—G. Derek Adams, author of Asteroid Made of Dragons and winner of the Sword & Laser Publishing Contest
“Heinz crafts a dark conspiracy of secret organizations so unique and believable that you’ll want your own bottle of demon’s blood before looking into the shadows again.”
—Zachary Tyler Linville, author of Welcome to Deadland and winner of the Nerdist Publishing Contest
