About
From international bestseller Thomas Olde Heuvelt comes Oracle, a supernatural thriller where an omen from our past threatens the return of ancient forces that will change the world forever. The novel heralds the return of Robert Grim, the fan-favorite cult-hero from Olde Heuvelt's breakthrough novel HEX.
On a foggy winter morning Luca Wolf and Emma Reich discover an eighteenth-century sailing ship stranded on a barren flower field, its name written on its side: Oracle.
Emma, unable to resist, enters the hatch on the tilted deck. The ship's bell begins to toll and no one sees her again.
Not much later, eleven people have disappeared, Luca and his mother have been absconded by a clandestine government agency which has questions, no answers, and are determined to uncover the ship's secrets before a media storm erupts.
But as they force Robert Grim, a retired specialist of the occult with a strange history and a healthy dislike of authority, to unravel the mystery, the Oracle is revealed to be a harbinger of an ancient doom awakened underneath the sea.
What follows is a maelstrom of international intrigue, history, young love, humanity's relationship with climate and disease, and pure terror as they come face to face with an open doorway to apocalypse.

Reviews
"A novel that feels like a puzzle . . . Olde Heuvelt deftly juggles many characters while delivering chapters full of supernatural mayhem. This is a novel that toys with the end of humanity, but the threshold to the apocalypse has seldom been so fun. This is Olde Heuvelt's sharpest, most compelling work to date."
The New York Times
"Cleverly takes the reader on a hard-to-predict path, which leads from haunted ship to thriller-like government shenanigans to some pretty bloody fights and an extended action sequence involving a helicopter and an oil rig. . . A compelling page-turner."
Wall Street Journal
"Told in the style of an international thriller and featuring a huge cast of well-developed characters, the novel is a deep dive into how the tendrils of the past can reach out and force humanity to heed a warning"
