The Praetorius Agency Files
The Vessel
Some evils never die — they are reborn in unwilling flesh.
Jack de Sombras thought his days of danger were done, but then he and Tessa Lancing uncover a deadly ritual, with Jack himself as the sacrifice. A fanatical cult seeks to make him the body for a dark resurrection — using a living, beating heart known as the Vessel.

Beneath the quiet deserts, bustling cities, and lonely stretches of highway, something ancient stirs—an evil that blends supernatural horror with human corruption.
It's the kind of danger that doesn't show up in police reports.
The kind you call the Praetorius Agency to stop.
Jack de Sombras is a rugged ex-intelligence operative—equal parts cowboy investigator and reluctant hero. His past is a locked vault of secrets and trauma. Clairvoyant Tessa Wells Lancing is his once-agency partner, now co-founder of their private security firm, whose psychic visions make her both a target and a weapon. Together, they're the team you send when the case teeters between paranormal investigation and covert ops.
