READ IT BECAUSE

Fans of the Dark Coil series will love this tale of survival horror in a gritty, realistic, yet unusual setting as a nightshift team is plagued by a series of mysterious events.


THE STORY

Hive Carceri’s mechanised dome is vast and decrepit, and only the vigilance of an army of labourers, tech adepts, and servitors known as the Nightshift keeps its ancient Sunlights shining. 


It is a harsh, isolated, and dangerous life, where workers are cut off from the city below and sometimes strange things happen in the heights where souls pass perilously close to the darkness beyond. 


The ill-fated crew of Nightshift Nineteen is plagued by misfortune, and a series of odd incidents turns sinister when the team becomes stranded and discovers that some crew members may not be who, or what, they claim to be.
