Supernatural detective and problem solver Elias Fetch has thought he’s lived and seen it all. But with grim news that the people of his hometown are dying, he embarks on a transformative journey to return to the small town of Locust Grove, Georgia—a place he thought he’d left in his rearview.
In a horrible twist, he learns his best friend from childhood is among the dead. Devastated, Elias is determined more than ever to find the cause of the killings to mete out justice and save others.
Yet, while on a rollercoaster of emotions, foreboding portents of forgotten gods appear, and he’s thrust into the struggles of his past and the uncertainty of his future.
Gods don’t play fair. Nothing will ever be the same, and the consequences are final.
