A chilling Caribbean Gothic set in the heart of Jamaica, where silence is bought with blood and debts sealed in glass.
In the quiet Clarendon village of Wataside, the Peace River flows silent and heavy-a boundary line between the living and the memories that refuse to drown. It is a place steeped in superstition, suspicion, and a reliance on the kind of magic that grants favors but always expects something in return.
For twenty years, Wataside has prospered on a silence bought with blood and sealed in glass.
But when twelve-year-old Zion pulls a smooth black stone from the riverbed, the debt comes due.
A supernatural rot begins to consume the valley. The air grows heavy, secrets refuse to stay buried, and the river begins to rise. While the village Pastor whips his congregation into a frenzy to unearth the blessings buried beneath the church, Zion realizes the terrifying truth.
They are not digging for salvation. They are breaking the dam.
