Paperback. Care to make a deal?On the darkest nights of the month, when the moon turns her back on the world, something rides.It leaves hearts in the hands of the dead. It trades in souls. It has no mercy for the wicked - and no patience for those who get in its way.They call it Tenebroso.Rosa Delgado doesn't believe in monsters. She believes in evidence, in motive, in the rational cruelty of human nature. What she cannot explain is why every victim she's found has a hole in their chest and a single bite taken from what's left. She is outside her jurisdiction, out of favors, and running out of time. But she has never walked away from a case, and she is not about to start now.Javi Castaneda made a bargain at a crossroads on the worst night of his life. He was drowning in grief and rage, and the thing that found him offered him exactly what he needed - power, purpose, and the promise of justice for the people who burned his world to ash. What it didn't tell him was what justice would cost. Or what he would have to become to collect it.Inquisitor Yolanda Torres has been hunting them both for months. She knows what the creature is, what it does to the men it inhabits, and what happens when it's finished with them. She carries silver weapons and the weight of a faith that is starting to crack at the seams. Somewhere in this rotten city, a noble house built on blood and prayer is hiding the man who started all of this - and Tenebroso is almost done.The moonless nights are here. All three of them are out of time.Some debts can only be paid in blood. Some bargains change everything. And some monsters, before the end, make you wonder if the world deserved saving at all.Deals have been struck.and a debt must be paid. A detective, a possessed man, and a monster hunter collide on moonless nights. A demonic entity trades in souls and justice, but its debt is coming due in blood. Three lives, one dark bargain, and no time left. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

- Book 4 of 4: The Realm of Gothika
Folklore warns of unseen spirits stalking midnight, offering horrifying bargains to desperate souls.
On a moonless night, even the law falters; enter Rosa Delgado, a woman of the law, who drowns her regrets in a bottle. Ruled by logic: spirits do not bargain, curses do not exist. Whatever lurks at the crossroads, Rosa knows it’s more than superstition. Human hands wield the knife, cloaking their crimes in legend, and Rosa cannot afford to chase myths—not with a killer at large.
As the body count rises and evidence warps reason, Rosa's conviction wavers. She uncovers whispers of bargains, the kind of promise that can't be undone. Just how real is the darkness? Will she catch her killer and cling to reason, or will unraveling the truth mean striking a deal herself—a bargain where every wish granted steals something from the soul in return?
Deals have been struck...and a debt must be paid.

Editorial Review - ***** 5 STARS
Reviewed by S. Mathur for Readers' Favorite
Tenebroso is the Midnight Rider, a fearsome supernatural being with a thirst for justice. In this new collaboration between C.S. Kading and Tony Fuentes, Alguacila Rosa Delgado is an officer of the law who tracks the monster to avenge his killing of her partner. Also on his trail are the Inquisitor Yolanda Torres and her dubious acolyte. It’s not that difficult a trail to follow, since Tenebroso attacks evildoers on moonless nights and leaves the bodies of victims with his signature mark. Their search is entwined with the story of Javi, who is also on a quest for vengeance. As they discover the extent of the corruption of the victims and their ties to the powerful, they face the question: who is the real monster?
Tenebroso is Book 4 of The Realm of Gothika series, but can be read as a stand-alone. It is set in the Imperium, a complex and believable imaginary world that has echoes of medieval and early modern Spain, the Old West, and criminal cartels. C.S. Kading and Tony Fuentes are masters of their craft, and each word is chosen and placed with precision. The exquisite writing and plot are the perfect setting for this grim story. The action moves fast, at the same time building up a layer of moral questions about monsters in human form. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy paranormal and gothic mysteries, horror, and world-building stories. Even those who don’t normally choose these genres will love the quality of the writing, storytelling, and moral depth.
