Daytide

Black metal Wizard of Oz Death comes to those who live. The Longing is here: a ruthless psychological pandemic that only ever ends one way. Most find relief in a bullet or a blade. Kaya Sinh chose fire. With Kaya gone, her friend Adam has only the support group they'd attended to keep him going. He's at his lowest when a priest named Hayle Carnoth appears at group one night, claiming to have discovered a cure for the Longing. Thinking it a crude effort by the priest to seek members for his dwindling congregation, Adam drives him off. But he keeps coming back. With the Longing closing in, Adam agrees to let Father Carnoth share what he's discovered. They visit a nearby cathedral, where something has appeared inside the steeple.
