Ancient power. Hidden wealth. And a truth that defies reason.

Mara Keller has built her career uncovering secrets buried in the dark corridors of global finance. As an intelligence analyst, her job is to track patterns, expose lies, and bring order to chaos. But her latest investigation—a $10 billion labyrinth tied to enigmatic hedge fund mogul Arvid Brander—pulls her into a web of deceit more dangerous than she could have imagined.

What begins as a logical investigation spirals into a confrontation with forces that defy explanation. The deeper Mara digs, the closer she comes to a horrifying realization: she’s not just following a trail of corruption. She’s stepping into a shadowed realm where logic falters, nightmares take form, and an ancient demon named Averus waits in the dark.

With each revelation, Mara is drawn deeper into a battle against forces disturbingly tied to her own past. As the boundaries between justice and something far darker begin to blur, Mara faces an impossible truth: uncovering the answers may cost her everything she knows—and everything she is.

Suspenseful and chilling, AVERUS delivers a supernatural thriller that weaves meticulous investigation with relentless psychological tension, leaving readers breathless until the final page.
