As the Legends Decree by TL Hutton
The U-tah-non-dsi Chronicles Book One
$5.00
Some places are more than just land; they are woven with ancient tales and primal fears, their very ground echoing with legends that refuse to die. Amber, a pragmatic woman quietly embracing her Osage heritage, finds herself with her husband, Blake, a local blue-collar man with big dreams, at a desolate, eerie bridge whispered about for generations, where the promise of a new beginning becomes a terrifying confrontation with the unknown.
"The Albino Bridge," whispered about for over a century, is more than just a fabled stretch of Springfield-Greene County lore. It's a nexus where teenagers and thrill-seekers once tested the boundaries of truth behind chilling legends, a place rumored to be haunted by spectral figures, axe-wielding murderers, mutant creatures, and vengeful spirits.
To Blake, it’s just a place for ghost stories and urban legends that holds the promise of a future for his burgeoning family. To Amber, who feels the weight of her Osage heritage in every chilling breath of wind, it’s mąko pi-zhi—Bad Medicine. As the air thickens with an unnamed disquiet, Amber's primal instincts scream danger, sensing a malevolent presence that Blake, in his romantic idealism, seems to overlook.
As skepticism crumbles and the veil between worlds thins, they find themselves ensnared in a narrative far older and more terrifying than any urban legend. What was meant to be a sanctuary becomes a battleground, where the boundaries of reality blur and survival depends on confronting the deepest, darkest myths that refuse to stay buried.
The veil is thinning, and something ancient has been waiting.

Step off the pavement. Step into the dark.
You’ve heard the local legends. Every town has that one creepy spot teenagers dare each other to visit after dark. For us, it was the Albino Bridge—a crumbling relic spanning a forgotten ravine, wrapped in whispers of things that live where the sun never shines. We thought they were just campfire stories. We were so, so wrong.
Welcome to The U-tah-non-dsi Chronicles—a descent into the primordial nightmares that lurk beneath the earth and wait in the ancient woods. Long before humanity carved roads and built cities, the U-tah-non-dsi—the "Pale Ones"—made a silent decree: Stay out, or become part of the dark. This chilling three-part omnibus drags you kicking and screaming into the raw, blood-soaked corners of the human (and inhuman) experience:
💀 As the Legends Decree: Meet the primal entities who guard the deep places of the world. They made a pact to remain undisturbed, and the trespassers who broke it learned that history's most terrifying monsters aren't buried—they're just waiting. Available now!
💀 Meat for the Beast: The facade of safety shatters as the Pale Ones drop the pretense. This isn't just about trespassers anymore; it’s a terrifying, visceral hunt driven by a violent, cannibalistic hunger that turns skin and bone into fuel. Available 2027.
💀Echoes of the Pale Ones: Venture deeper into the suffocating gloom, where the silence isn't empty—it’s listening. And it remembers your name. Available 2027.
Blending contemporary dread with Indigenous oral tradition and ancient supernatural threats that predate human understanding, The U-tah-non-dsi Chronicles takes the folklore of the Albino Bridge and rips it wide open.
