Come What May

Sam Fisher’s quiet existence in Arcanum, Ohio, ends abruptly when the undead monster Silas murders his wife and takes their daughter. This violent disruption introduces him to a hidden world of vampires, witches, and magic that operates just beneath the surface of ordinary life. Kevin Lee Swaim guides readers through this sudden shift from mundane reality to supernatural danger, establishing a narrative grounded in personal loss and immediate threat. The story follows Fisher as he is rescued by a vampire-killer, forcing him to confront truths about his world that he never knew existed. Swaim constructs a plot where the protagonist must adapt to these new, lethal realities while searching for his abducted child. The narrative focuses on the collision between the ordinary and the occult, showing how quickly safety can vanish. Readers who enjoy stories about sudden invasions of the magical into the real will find this premise compelling. Those seeking complex political intrigue or extensive lore dumps may find the focus too narrow. Swaim’s background informs the pacing and tone of the tale. The book is organized around Fisher’s immediate response to tragedy rather than a slow-burn mystery. It appeals to fans of urban fantasy who appreciate direct action and clear stakes. The text avoids abstract musings, sticking instead to the concrete events of survival and rescue.
