Hidden Front - Vatican City

In the shadows beneath the world's holiest city, something ancient is listening.When cryptid hunter James Harkon arrives in Vatican City, he expects whispers of demons, hidden relics, and another quiet war fought far from the public eye. What he finds instead is a buried city beneath the Vatican itself - a forgotten labyrinth of bone chapels, sealed archives, secret bells, and the abandoned descendants of those sacrificed to centuries of silence.As priests vanish, gargoyles awaken upon cathedral roofs, and the dead begin walking through hidden corridors beneath St Peter's Basilica, Harkon is drawn into a conspiracy older than the modern Church. At its centre lies the Choir Below - a monstrous intelligence formed from erased names, buried confessions, and generations of guilt hidden in the dark.Alongside the haunted Father Lucien Moreau, the relentless archivist Beatriz Varela, and the compromised Cardinal Valenti, Harkon must descend deeper than any Custodian has dared in decades. Beneath the catacombs waits a terrible truth: the Choir is not the greatest horror under Vatican City.It is the lock.Blending occult horror, action, folklore and gothic conspiracy, Hidden Front - Vatican City continues the brutal supernatural war of the Hidden Front series, where every city hides its own monsters - and some were created by the people meant to protect us.
