In this follow-up to the masterful debut
Gideon, a
young witch must risk death and damnation to defeat a
powerful ancient evil.
In unearthing her father’s
secret past, Lauren Reardon
discovered a shocking truth about herself. She is a Child of
Endor, a sect of witches who believe they are the guardians
of the “thin places”—areas across the globe where evil can
seep through the divide between the worlds separating the
living and the restless dead. At any time, she can be called
upon to close one of these breaches and prevent demons from
infiltrating our realm. When Lauren has a disturbing vision
of an Oregon forest, she is drawn back to the familiar woods
of the misty Pacific Northwest to investigate.
Locals
had long whispered about an abandoned logging camp
known as Jericho—of the strange disappearances and eerie
sounds heard in the woods deep in the night. But these ghost
stories only hint at the true evil lurking within the camp’s
dilapidated buildings, a primeval malevolence far more
terrifying than Lauren’s darkest imaginings. And now, Lauren
must face this evil, even if it takes her life . . . even if
it costs her soul.
