First appearing in The 9 Ghosts of Samen's Bane, Adrian Dillard takes on the magic abilities of the 9 ghost children who take up residence in his mind. Their ultimate goal? To train Adrian and prepare him for a final showdown with their nemesis, Samen, Lord of Evil Spirits.
Eventually, Adrian takes on the mantle of The Keeper of the Ten. Historically, although there are beings on Earth adept at one, two, or even three of the Ten Magics, only one can tap into them all. Adrina tries to escape the supernatural but is somehow always drawn in.
Appearances:
The 9 Ghosts of Samen's Bane: The only constant in life is death. For Adrian Dillard, death has become an unwelcome companion. Nine unwelcome companions to be exact. Killed in a tragic train derailment over a century ago, the ghosts of nine children have taken up residence in Adrian’s psyche. Using him as a conduit for their incredible abilities, Adrian is put through arduous training to face off against The Nine’s ancient enemy Samen, Lord of Evil Spirits. But Adrian knows he isn’t being told the full story. Soon, the dead children seem to have other motives, and the appearance of other supernatural creatures calls everything Adrian has learned into doubt. He must uncover the truth behind it all and try to avoid death while trying.
Daylight Slaying Time: This story will appear in GORE 3, Poe Boy Publishing's annual Halloween anthology, in the fall of 2023. Adrian teams up with FBI agent Marion Oliver to investigate the gruesome deaths of several factory workers. The lack of bodies and strange circumstances point to the supernatural.
Salvation: Coming in the fall of 2023, Salvation kicks off the 9-part Salvation series and finds Adrian Dillard re-teaming with Agent Oliver to uncover the secrets behind a strange murder victim. The case lands them on the trail of a hitman from Hell.
Crow on the Cradle: Available now on Kindle Vella. Adrian is hired by a famous writer whose apparent curse makes him the target of nightmare creatures who roam the darkness. Can Adrian uncover the root of this evil and help break the curse before it consumes his client's family?
Adrian Dillard plays a large part in the stories to come. His biggest role may be in recruiting a team to face a major threat to humanity. This includes the powerful witch, Hagatha Belfry. More on her next time.
