Eclipses that refuse to end. Shadows that swallow cities whole. A myth rising to devour the world. Rafe Kaelstrom is no hero—just a modern sorcerer from a forgotten bloodline, until a botched ritual during a solar eclipse bonds him to the Minokawa, the colossal astral bird long chained as a world-eater. Now, lengthening eclipses signal its hunger. People vanish into endless night, and Rafe feels the beast's pull, urging destruction. Diving into Seattle's occult underbelly, Rafe allies with vengeful shaman Lirien Vossara, hacker Sylra Nightveil, and mercenary Tessa Ironspur. Ancient mentor Draven Thalor unveils a greater void horror manipulating the chains. But the Eclipse Cabal's high priest Korvath hunts Rafe to seize the bond and unleash hell. As wraith swarms consume the skies, Rafe must choose: suppress the monster within or wield its fury against an apocalypse worse than myth. From visionary author Anthony Rusch comes Minokawa Rising—a pulse-pounding urban fantasy epic of cosmic battles, forbidden bonds, and the thin line between guardian and destroyer.
