Where Oblivion Lives

In T. Frohocks novel of supernatural intrigue in the prelude to World War II, a mysterious threat surfaces near the Black Forest to menace the nefilim of Europe…

In Catalonia, 1932, rogue nefil Diago Alvarez has given up the independence hes prized for lifetimes and sworn allegiance to Spains angelic Inner Guard. Violence is brewing among immortal forces and earthly ones alike, and Diago hopes the Inner Guards stronghold, Santuari, will protect him, his husband, and their 7-year-old son. But Santuaris skeptics whisper about Diagos daimonic heritage, hinting of spies and sabotage. Diago wakes to nightmares every night. Its not until a crisis breaks that he realizes the dreams are attacks, sent via mortal technology and Diagos own stolen Stradivarius.

Diago must retrieve the violin, and quickly, trusting as much as he can to the Inner Guards underground alliances. As he crosses Spain, France, and Germany, evading brownshirts and Rhinemaidens, fragmented memories of a past incarnation are thrust upon him. Someone wants him to question the path hes chosen. But until he reaches the decaying manor where the attacks originate, Diago cant learn why. And once he arrives, theres no telling what form danger might take…
