A brother taken. A father sacrificed. Both lost to something sinister... something that was never known to exist.
Mason Sax has spent twenty years trying to forget the night his world collapsed-the night a creature dragged his younger brother into the darkness and left his father dead beside him. Following his father's last words, Mason sealed the cave and buried the truth, determined to survive and move on.
Now a deputy sheriff in the same small mountain town, Mason lives with the memory but never speaks of it... until the past is disturbed.
When developers purchase the abandoned resort on the edge of town, Mason's warnings fall on deaf ears. The cave is reopened. The thing inside awakened-hungry for the youthful innocence required for sustenance, and revenge.
As disappearances begin and fear quickly takes hold, Mason is forced to confront what he tried to forget. But this time, he won't face this darkness alone. His confession draws an unlikely ally, and a desperate call for help is answered by legendary forces.
Because the creature dwelling inside the cave isn't the only monster in the world...
And some monsters hunt their own.
