“SPELLBINDING….SPOOKY…COMPELLING…CHILLING…A FAST-PACED SUPERNATURAL THRILLER.”
Four strangers, bonded by death—and hunted by something that wears their grief like a mask. Steve loses his wife in a fiery crash. Martin buries his daughter after a massive overdose. Veronica grieves a mother who dies of a heart attack while scuba diving. Abby mourns her football-hero brother after a freak sideline accident that no one can explain.
Then the impossible happens. Each of them receives a cryptic message that appears to come from the dead, and each begins to dream of the same sadistic figure: a twisted preacher who stalks them from the shadows, promising salvation while radiating pure malice. Drawn together, the four follow a loose trail of clues that stretches across the country, trying to understand why they’re being targeted and how four strangers can share the same nightmare.
Every answer they uncover tightens the noose, revealing a design that links their losses, their faith, and a darkness that has been waiting for them far longer than they realize. In a final confrontation where miracles and monstrosities look disturbingly alike, they must decide what they believe—and what they’re willing to sacrifice—in a battle where the stakes are far higher than life and death.
