But when the old gods return to challenge their rise, and when love collides with prophecy, the question remains: can they rewrite a destiny written in grief, or will they forever be prisoners of their cursed bloodline?

Elliot Carter thought he had left Harrison Creek behind for good. The small Appalachian town, steeped in shadows and secrets, was a place of pain—the memory of his mother’s tragic death and Lily Rose’s haunting disappearance lingering for years. It had been 20 years since Lily vanished without a trace, and now, Elliot is drawn back to the place he swore to escape. The call comes: his father, Dr. Robert Carter, is dying. Elliot returns to Harrison Creek, but it’s not just his father who pulls him back. The mystery of Lily’s disappearance has never let him go. As a child, he accepted the town’s story—that Lily was simply forgotten—but now, as an adult, Elliot knows better. The town hides something far darker. Dr. Robert Carter, the town’s respected doctor, has been hiding something. Elliot begins to unravel cryptic clues suggesting his father’s involvement in Lily’s case is deeper—and more sinister—than anyone could have guessed.

The more he digs, the more the townspeople close ranks, and the more violent the threats become. Elliot soon discovers the unthinkable: Lily’s disappearance wasn’t an accident—it was planned. And the man responsible for silencing her forever was none other than his own father. As the investigation spirals, Elliot must confront a chilling truth: his father’s dark past may cost him everything, including his own soul. Some truths are better left buried. But in Harrison Creek, the truth always finds a way to surface.

To stop the murders, he'll have to willingly step into the blackout and hope he comes back with answers instead of more blood. But his handler isn't some faceless bureaucrat, they're someone who knows exactly how to break him, because they built him. Marcus Kane has one hour to catch a killer. The killer is him. And the puppet master has been watching from inside his own department all along. *****
