"A riveting blend of horror and suspense"- Kirkus Reviews When Travis Barnes returns home following the unexpected death of his mother, leaving his career with the Seventh Naval Fleet, he hopes to begin a new chapter in life. Unbeknownst to him, a series of impossible coincidences soon draws the attention of the Bureau, a fringe government agency formed from the rubble of Projects Monarch and Stargate. But when Lola Agnew, the Bureau's genetically-altered ringleader-along with her erudite headhunter, Drexl Samson-confront him with a clandestine force with powers beyond this world, Travis must face a forgotten secret from his past. His partner Tara Reilly, meanwhile, has secrets of her own, and when the couple are pushed to their limits, they must join together to overcome the darkness... In the tradition of the classic speculative fiction of Richard Matheson, Ira Levin, and Ray Bradbury, Hamelin Bird's Ambrosia is a genre-defying deep dive into the mysterious and uncanny.
