Description
Dark Matter: The Order of the Hidden Cross is a genre-blurring descent into multiversal horror, theological conspiracy, and the slow unravelling of destiny. Across nineteen chapters, it follows two lives shaped by forces far older than heaven. One is a child marked from birth, the other a priest drawn into a labyrinth of secrets. Both are bound to an ancient war that stretches across worlds.
Joshua Carpenter was never meant to be ordinary. Born under a sky fractured by signs, he begins to sense the presence of beings that move in silence and shadows. Memory Keepers. Watchers. Creatures that shape the threads of existence itself. Guided by Beris, a creature who is part guardian and part enigma, Joshua learns that his life is connected to a cosmic struggle that predates humanity. As visions deepen, he discovers truths no child should bear and a destiny that will demand more than anyone could imagine.
Father Filadelfo, newly ordained and unprepared for what awaits him, witnesses an event that defies faith and reason. His search for answers draws him into the Order of the Hidden Cross, a secretive branch of the Church tasked with guarding an ancient threat buried beneath the Vatican. What he uncovers forces him to question everything he has ever believed.
As Joshua and Filadelfo move along their separate paths, reality begins to fracture. Worlds overlap. Time bends. Light and shadow wrestle for control while an old power stirs within the Dark Matter that holds the multiverse together. Their lives are connected by fate, by prophecy, and by the unseen hands that pull the strings of creation.
This is a story of identity, sacrifice, and resistance against forces designed to keep humanity blind. A story where the end is never the end. Where the war has always been. And where the darkest truths wait in the space between worlds.
