    Summary

    After a lifetime rejecting his nature, Will Graham's battle with encephalitis forces him off his suppressants - and then a breathtaking, inscrutable crime triggers his first heat in decades.

    Months later, as he delves into the mysterious occult text found at the scene, he finds himself tumbling deeper and deeper into uncharted waters. There's something here no one else can see. A message from the author; an invitation. A recipe.

    He won't pursue it - he can't. It's nonsense, and there's a perfectly logical explanation for the decades-long string of kills connected to the book.

    Isn't there?

    For the Omega Will Fest 2025 prompt: "Will can't seem to attract alphas because he is so abrasive and doesn't submit. He finds a book (or overhears others talking) about summoning a demon lover. He doesn't believe it, but a part of him hopes it works because he feels lonely. Demon Hannibal giving Will everything.
