The Gluemaker’s Demise

Revised Edition (2025)

The Gluemaker's Demise Book Cover

“Nothing broke. It simply stopped holding.”

Deep within the caves of the Silver Falls, a reckoning is taking shape. Lukah, a glue-maker who built his fortune on the bones of fish and the secrets of the desperate, has been dragged into the dark. Captured by the cave-dwelling Choan, he faces the wrath of Dahron, a vengeful Naiad and Guardian of the Falls who holds him responsible for the death of her son.

As the summer solstice approaches, the lives of the lakeside people intertwine once more. From the forest glades where Mira hears the whispers of the trees, to the new stone settlements rising from the earth, The Gluemaker’s Demise weaves a tale of guilt, retribution, and the unbreakable power of nature. In this sequel to The Shaman’s Blessing, Pat Barnett invites us back into a world where the earth remembers everything, and some debts can only be paid in blood.
