A brutal murderer is in their midst, shattering Parker Campbell's tranquil existence, and dragging her down into a spiraling vortex of evil and anguish that threatens to destroy her sanity and her life. Violent and unrelenting, this killer has a deep connection with Parker and she must face her past, long hidden and filled with madness, to save herself, and the children of Wolfwater. She will endure pain, horror, and fear - when darkness calls.
