Mark Wilson concludes his dEaDINBURGH series with Hunted, a narrative focused on the aftermath of conflict in Edinburgh. Alys Shephard and Joey MacLeod lead their community while tracking a figure known as The Eunuch from the north. Their pursuit draws attention from merciless hunters who enforce a cruel culture centered on gladiatorial games.

Simultaneously, Steph travels south to address unfinished business with Bracha, her former torturer and mentor. In this region, a mysterious Deacon has assembled a community of disciples.

Horror desk

Wilson delivers a tense conclusion that prioritizes the human cost of violence over mystical exposition. By splitting the narrative between Alys’s northern struggles and Steph’s southern confrontations, the text effectively illustrates how power fragments across Edinburgh. The focus on gladiatorial cruelty and cult dynamics adds visceral stakes to the political maneuvering. This approach suits readers who value character-driven plots in dark, urban settings. Those seeking lighthearted adventure should look elsewhere, as the tone remains consistently severe. The reliance on established geography and relationships grounds the horror, making the societal collapse feel immediate and personal rather than abstract.
