Sanctum

At Mitchell Psychiatric Hospital, Ethan Thomas has a secret no ordinary patient would believe: he is a Siphoner, able to absorb fear, grief, rage, and despair from the people around him.

But darkness cannot simply disappear. The more Ethan absorbs, the more powerful—and addictive—the sensation becomes. If he carries too much, it could kill him.

Then he meets Anelia Santos.

One touch from Anelia makes the darkness inside Ethan go silent. For the first time in years, he feels peace. She may be a rare Sanctum, someone capable of suspending the darkness Siphoners are forced to carry.

But Ethan isn’t the only one fascinated by her.

His closest friend, psychiatrist Julian Mercer, becomes increasingly obsessed with understanding Anelia’s abilities. As curiosity turns to control, Ethan is forced to confront Julian, his own addiction, and the dangerous truth about what happens when darkness has nowhere left to go.

Sanctum is a dark supernatural fantasy about power, addiction, obsession, love, and the cost of finding peace.
