Broken by a confrontation with a celestial horror, Simon embarks on a mystic journey across impossible frozen plains, endless staircases, and cities built from bone and shadow. Haunted by a fractured essence and stalked by unknowable beings, he seeks answers from entities older than time—though their motives remain shrouded and their words as cryptic as prophecy.
In the depths of a jungle that shouldn’t exist, Simon meets a stranger who offers no comfort and a truth that offers no solace. His role in the cosmic design may be insignificant—or it may shift the balance between annihilation and survival.
A dreamlike entry in the Meph’hibb’anauth Cycle, The Cleansing blends mythic horror, existential dread, and surreal wonder in a tale of loss, recovery, and the terrible burden of purpose.
