Survival comes at a cost… and the nightmare is only beginning.

Emily is ten, fleeing a home that should have been safe.

She hides in an abandoned barn, but the secret she carries refuses to stay buried — and the shadows watching are far from ordinary.

Hoping for safety and a new life, she sets out for London, dreaming of streets paved with gold.

But the city’s alleys are slick with debauchery and sin, and the derelict manor she finds promises refuge… only to reveal horrors within.

Alone, hungry, and desperate, she wanders the fog-choked streets — until she encounters the smiling predator that will change her world forever…

Mortem Gate — a dark gothic paranormal prequel steeped in psychological terror, quiet supernatural dread, predatory salvation, and the horror of being claimed when the world decides you are small enough to take in 1800s London, England.
