Science Fiction
New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice returns
to New Orleans in this supernatural novel featuring a group
of teenagers who find themselves with mysterious and
dangerous powers. My name is Niquette Delongpre and on the night before my
mother’s forty-seventh birthday, my entire family vanished
without a trace. Everyone assumed the swamp swallowed them.
They were wrong. The real story begins weeks earlier, in the
very soil of the place we called Elysium, which means “final
resting place for the heroic and virtuous.” An ironic name,
given that the secret unearthed there has the potential to
change the course of human history. Deep in the swamps outside of New Orleans, Niquette
Delongpre and her family uncover a well on their property—a
well that has roots all the way down into the soils of the
Mississippi River. A well that brings ancient things to the
surface—things that should have stayed buried. When Niquette is exposed to a small parasite, it triggers in
her mysterious and dangerous powers. As she tries to come to
grips with these new abilities and what they might mean for
her future, she realizes that she is not alone. Someone
else, someone who was exposed to the same mysterious
parasite during a clandestine visit to the swamp Niquette
would rather keep secret, also is discovering his new
talents, and he’s not as nice as she is…
