Dark Summer: A Gripping Urban Fantasy of Betrayal and Vengeance by Q.K. Petty

Betrayal burns hotter than any summer sun.

The Chattanooga Incident has left the House of David in shambles. Chaos ripples across the city, and the terrorist faction Seditio is seizing its moment to strike.

Haunted by loss and personal betrayal, Judge Eden Dowler is fighting to hold the House together even as trust fractures from within. When an old ally resurfaces with answers—and secrets—Eden faces an impossible truth: the traitor he’s hunting may be closer than he ever imagined.

With the lines between justice and vengeance blurring, Eden forges fragile alliances to dismantle Seditio before they unleash catastrophe. But every step deeper into the shadows exposes new lies, and loyalty becomes a deadly gamble.

Dark Summer thrusts A Series of Four Seasons into its most perilous chapter yet, where secrets fester, betrayals ignite, and survival means knowing who to trust—if anyone.

A cursed artifact. A hidden war. A brotherhood built on blood and betrayal.
Five hundred years ago, the Chains of Peter vanished—relics so dangerous they can shatter a soul or save it.

Now, the chains have resurfaced in Mobile, Alabama, and the House of David—a secret society sworn to contain cursed artifacts—is hunting them down. Leading the charge is Judge Eden Dowler—ruthless, loyal, and haunted by the sins of his past.

Eden has a plan: recruit his estranged half-brother Orion Bachman, the perfect candidate for the House—smart, strong, and unbroken. Convince Orion to join, and the chains are as good as theirs.

But the House of David isn’t the only one after the chains. A shadowy enemy called Seditio will stop at nothing to claim the artifact for themselves, even if it means tearing Eden’s family apart.
