A dead man’s memories blaze brighter than his soul.* Cross, The Man Who Remembers, bears a festering bullet wound that throbs like a heartbeat when danger approaches, a remnant of his death as a former enslaved African in the American Old West. In a wild blend of Greek, Mayan, and African mythologies—an Underworld where time frays like a drunken deity’s fever dream and the blazing skies shift from red to black—he becomes the target of spirits yearning for the vibrant life he remembers. Cross treks toward the stunning walled islands of Paradise to drink from the river Lethe, seeking to bury his haunted past. He’s guiding Cottontail, an ancient goddess trapped in the delicate form of a nine-year-old girl. But when a primal deity snatches her away, Cross teams up with the Raven, a stoic fallen angel sporting a trickster’s grin, to outsmart squalls, hodders, and the damned to retrieve divine chattel—relics imbued with god-slaying power. Diamond Tooth, his former demon partner, relentlessly pursues him, her century-long leash fueling a vendetta that makes his wound flare with every taunt. If Cross can’t breach Paradise, Cottontail’s eternal spirit will confront the Underworld’s harshest entity, her ancient wisdom twisted in evil hands. Demons, devils, and the damned will hunt him forever or until they flay his memories from his soul. Despite this, his unwavering spirit fuels his fight. However, the waters of Lethe hold a frightening power, potentially washing away not just his torment; they could also erase the precious moments shared with Cottontail and each defiant victory, lost to a hollow nothingness. In a realm where courage is a loaded taunt and redemption a perilous wager, Cross might just outwit eternity—or become its most peculiar phantom.
