Forbidden Guardian: The Arkham Golem by Louis Loukraft.

In the mysterious town of Arkham during the Roaring Twenties, the brilliant inventor Rivka Cole uncovers a dark prophecy foretelling the rise of eldritch abominations. Determined to shield her community from impending doom, Rivka embarks on a perilous journey to craft Emeth, a towering golem infused with forbidden arcane wisdom.

Emeth initially emerges as an indomitable protector, effortlessly repelling otherworldly assaults with unwavering precision. However, as Emeth engulfs volatile energies, its essence mutates into a harrowing manifestation of the malevolent forces it was designed to combat.

With alarm mounting and chaos reigning through Arkham, Rivka realizes her creation has spiraled out of control, endangering all she holds dear. Despite her frantic efforts to rein in Emeth, the insidious bond between golem and darkness intensifies, plunging the town into despair.

Amidst escalating casualties and rising dissent, Rivka faces mounting opposition from her terror-stricken neighbors who denounce her fusion of science and sorcery as the source of their plight. Racing against time, she delves into ancient rituals and forbidden incantations in a desperate bid to undo her catastrophic invention before irreversible devastation befalls Arkham.

In a climactic showdown, Rivka valiantly dismantles Emeth at great personal sacrifice, unleashing a cataclysmic flood of chaotic energy. In a final act of heroism, she heroically binds the unleashed forces to herself and vanishes into the cosmic abyss.

While Arkham mourns its losses and struggles to rebuild, Rivka's legacy lives on as her allies forge a new era of protection melding ingenious technology with controlled magic to safeguard against future supernatural threats. Transformed by the harrowing ordeal, Arkham stands as a bastion at the crossroads of mortal reality and cosmic realms, forever changed by Rivka's sacrifices.
