Blending MacGyver-style ingenuity with the diagnostic sleuthing of Dr. House, The Doctor’s Reckoning is a gripping medical thriller that introduces Cyrus Darian, a physician who has walked away from his career, his family, and the life that once defined him.

Haunted by a threat he refuses to name, Cyrus drifts through the backcountry with nothing but a backpack, sharp instincts, and medical skills he cannot fully abandon.

When he saves a stranger’s life deep in the Oregon wilderness using little more than improvisation and nerve, the act pulls him into a remote off-grid commune that seems, at first, like a quiet place to disappear.

But beneath the commune’s calm surface, something isn’t right. Unexplained illnesses. Conflicting stories. A tension no one will acknowledge. As Cyrus begins to connect the clues, it becomes clear the community is hiding secrets someone is willing to protect at any cost.

To stop what’s unfolding, Cyrus must rely on the very abilities he tried to leave behind, and confront the shadow at the center of his past.
