The Guilt Devourer and The Witch: Where Inner Demons Become Real (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247757917)

Book # 2 of Absinthian
Milo and Sybil Caine find themselves in their most unsettling case yet, one that goes beyond crime scenes and into the delicate workings of the human mind. As they try to balance marriage and duty, the shadow of Absinthian's imprisonment still hangs over them, her captivity tied to forces that defy logic, science, and faith.
As a new threat emerges, its presence is felt not just through violence but also through whispers, broken memories, and secrets that should have stayed hidden. Someone is watching from the edges of awareness, taking advantage of moments when the mind is most open. Each night, unseen lines are crossed, and the difference between thought and intrusion starts to blur.
The enemies Milo and Sybil face are no longer limited to the physical world. These foes are clever, patient, and unsettlingly human, with abilities that distort reality and make even sleep a battleground. As the investigation goes on, the couple must face truths that test their trust in each other, their beliefs, and the values that have guided them for years.
As reality shifts and danger slips in through dreams, the Caines must decide how much they are willing to give up to protect what is left of their world, and whether love can survive when even the mind is no longer safe.
