From international bestseller Thomas Olde Heuvelt comes Oracle, a
supernatural thriller where an omen from our past threatens the return
of ancient forces that will change the world forever. The novel heralds
the return of Robert Grim, the fan-favorite cult-hero from Olde Heuvelt's
breakthrough novel HEX .
On a foggy winter morning Luca Wolf and Emma Reich discover an
eighteenth-century sailing ship stranded on a barren flower field, its name
written on its side: Oracle .
Emma, unable to resist, enters the hatch on the tilted deck. The ship's bell
begins to toll and no one sees her again.
Not much later, eleven people have disappeared, Luca and his mother have
been absconded by a clandestine government agency which has questions,
no answers, and are determined to uncover the ship's secrets before a media
storm erupts.
But as they force Robert Grim, a retired specialist of the occult with a strange
history and a healthy dislike of authority, to unravel the mystery, theOracle is
revealed to be a harbinger of an ancient doom awakened underneath the sea.
What follows is a maelstrom of international intrigue, history, young love,
humanity's relationship with climate and disease, and pure terror as they
come face to face with an open doorway to apocalypse.
