Shadows, Secrets, and Floating Leviathans: Dive into Passage 07: Echoes of the Shepherd
The stakes in the Books of Forsaken Futures saga have never been higher—or more unstable.
In Passage 07: Echoes of the Shepherd, the dust settles over the glass and ash of Saint’s Landing’s fallen trafficking facility, but the quiet that follows is far from peaceful. Broken alliances, hypnotic puppet strings, and chilling revelations threaten to pull down every hero, anti-hero, and villain walking the ash.
Here is a spoiler-free glimpse into what awaits you in this pulse-pounding new chapter.
The Web Tightens
As the Hall of Saints counts its losses, Father Cornelius Graham and the cold-blooded scientist Studde turn a catastrophic defeat into a chilling tactical advantage. But while the Hall recalibrates its phalanx protocols, trouble stirs within their own ranks—and across the wastes.
Meanwhile, Joe Skyne stands at a crossroads. Bound by a stubborn, rotting anchor of honor he can’t seem to wrench out of his chest, Joe wrestles with the fiery, tempting whispers of Pydrea urging him to cut ties and burn the map. But when a chance encounter outside the ruined facility drops seeds of deep paranoia regarding his enigmatic employer, Nute, Joe is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: What if the man leading the rescue effort is tied to the very monsters they're fighting?
Key Moments to Watch For
The Silent Puppeteer: A mysterious stalker intercepts Lawrence Armory in the charred treeline, placing him under a strange, hypnotic "unstated bargain" that forces him to march back to camp like a mindless construct.
The Leviathan in the Sky: The Quest Faction uncovers the whereabouts of Nute’s terrifying mobile command center—the Gigas Class Leviathan Purgatory—while scrambling to find a backdoor into his private data network.
A Deadly Game of Odds: High above the clouds, Nute plays nanny to a flock of rescued Magi orphans, all while keeping a watchful eye on the oily, deceitful Lum’Yere Le’Serpent, who is already plotting behind his back.
The Shattered Truth: A casual comment dropped by a trance-broken Lawrence sends shockwaves through Joe's mind, connecting name after name until the true scope of the conspiracy threatens to shatter everything he believes in.
"Nute plays games on boards you can't even see, Joe... He's using you to clean up his messy loose ends."
Will Joe uncover the truth before it's too late? Or is everyone simply playing their assigned parts on Father Graham's board?
