The living cannot be allowed to infect the dead.

Adam Binder has lost what matters most to him. Having finally learned the true identity of the warlock preying on his family, what was supposed to be a final confrontation with the fiend instead became a trap that sent Adam’s beloved Vicente into the realm of the dead, where none living are meant to be.

Bound by debt, oath, and love, Adam blazes his own trail into the underworld to get Vicente back, and to end the threat of the warlock once and for all. But the road to hell is paved with far more than good intentions. Demons are hungry, and ghosts are relentless, and what awaits Adam in the underworld is nothing he is prepared to face.

If that weren’t enough, Adam has one more thing he must do if he and Vicente are to return to the world of the living: find the lost heart of Death herself.

David R. Slayton

David R. Slayton

David R. Slayton is a name that’s been steadily carving a niche in the realm of speculative fiction, blending elements of magic, mystery, and personal struggle into narratives that linger long after the final page. Hailing from Oklahoma, David grew up surrounded by a rich tapestry of storytelling, a landscape filled with both myth and reality. He’s the kind of writer who knows how to balance the beauty of the extraordinary with the rawness of the everyday, crafting stories that invite readers to step into worlds where the impossible feels just within reach.

His journey into writing began with a love for fantasy, but it’s his ability to infuse his tales with heart and depth that has captured the attention of his readers. His debut series, The Adam Binder series, follows a compelling protagonist who navigates the blurred lines between magic and reality, facing threats that test not only his strength but his humanity. In Slayton’s world, magic is not just an external force—it’s a reflection of the character’s internal battles, a thread that weaves through the tapestry of their lives.

David’s writing style stands out for its balance of tension and tenderness, as well as its nuanced portrayal of complex characters. His protagonists are flawed but resilient, facing not just external conflicts but the kind of internal struggles that are universal—fear, loss, love, and self-doubt. It’s this human element that makes his stories resonate on a deeper level, elevating them beyond the typical fantasy fare.

In addition to his Adam Binder series, David’s work has expanded into standalone novels that continue to explore themes of self-discovery, the supernatural, and the cost of power. His books are as much about the characters’ journeys of growth and change as they are about the exciting, magic-filled plots that drive them forward. His fans have come to appreciate his ability to balance action-packed sequences with moments of quiet reflection, a trait that has earned him a devoted following.

Despite his growing success, David remains humble about his journey. For him, writing isn’t just a profession—it’s a way to connect with others, to share stories that might help people feel seen, understood, or simply entertained. And while the worlds he creates may be fantastical, the emotions and experiences they evoke are deeply human.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to his work, David R. Slayton’s stories promise an experience that’s rich in both adventure and heart. His books invite readers to not only escape into magical worlds but to explore the very real emotions that make us who we are.
