The Consortium

She forged an impossible peace. But the psychic shockwaves of Constance March’s victory have cracked prisons older than humanity, and something ancient has taken notice.

They are the Consortium: predators who once architected civilizations just to harvest souls in perfect, ecstatic unity. After millennia of containment, they have been awakened by a professional interest in Constance’s revolutionary methods of transformation.

Forced into a fragile alliance with her old enemies, Constance must descend into a prison built at the dawn of time to confront the architects of predation themselves. But they don’t want to fight her. They want to study her. They have given her a terrifying ultimatum: surrender for analysis, or they will break free and harvest the world.

To save humanity, she must risk becoming the master class for its destruction, knowing that this final transformation may be one she cannot survive.

About the author: Tamsin Crowe is a pioneering voice at the forefront of Neo-Gothic Futurism, a genre that fuses the atmospheric dread of classic gothic horror with the speculative possibilities of science fiction. Inspired by the folklore and mist-shrouded cemeteries of the English countryside, her work projects these ancient fears into the future, exploring the haunting intersection of love and grief with psychic battles and powerful ancient orders. Her Constance March saga stands as a defining work of the genre. THE CONSORTIUM is her third novel in the Constance March series.
