When burned-out journalist Jude Mercer stumbles across an encrypted message on the dark web-"The Twelve will gather. The Dark One breathes."-he thinks it's just another internet hoax. But what begins as research for a disposable cult article soon drags him into a spiraling conspiracy of vanished towns, impossible symbols, and voices that speak through static and mirrors. As reality fractures and the same name-Adon-follows him across dreams and screens, Jude uncovers a ritual long in motion, one tied to a burned church, a forgotten map, and a cult older than belief itself. THE APOSTLES is a mind-bending descent into cosmic horror, paranoia, and the terrifying realization that some stories don't want to be written-they want to be opened.
