Fallen Thorns

Arlo is lost. He thought he had everything figured out. Go to university, fall in love, get a job.

But life doesn’t always work like that, and before he has a chance to figure it out, he dies.

In the space of a night, Arlo is plunged into a world of blood and immortality and finds a group of people who swear to always have his back.

Dying is never easy, and they promise him eternal safety.

But something is after him.

Something no one could have ever predicted. 

He craves to figure out his purpose before he falls into something he can never come back from.
