The Ḍāin: The Anthology

A supernatural saga spanning four centuries, where ancient evil and forbidden love collide across two timelines. In 1599, English merchant John Midenhall travels to India on behalf of Queen Elizabeth I, seeking trade opportunities for the British Empire. What he finds instead is the Ḍāin, a powerful supernatural being who risks everything to protect him, igniting a war with the monstrous Rakshasa. Their desperate flight takes them from India to Istanbul and finally to the shores of England, but the Rakshasa's hunger cannot be sated. The hunt continues across oceans and years, building toward a devastating confrontation. Four centuries later, a young couple purchases a house in Kent, built on the very land where John Midenhall once lived. As they settle into their new home, they discover that some things cannot stay buried. The basement holds secrets, and an exterminator's routine visit unearths something far worse than pests. As their relationship fractures under the strain, one of them stumbles upon a truth that will change everything. Two timelines. One location. An ancient evil that has been waiting. The Ḍāin: The Anthology collects all four volumes of this historical fantasy horror series, weaving together 17th-century adventure and modern-day terror in a story of love, betrayal, vengeance, and the darkness that endures.
