Something evil is at work in Hyde River, an isolated mining town in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Under the cover of darkness, a predator strikes without warningâtaking life in the most chilling and savage fashion.
The community of Hyde River watches in terror as residents suddenly vanish. Yet, the more locals are pressed for information, the more they close ranks, sworn to secrecy by their forefathersâ hidden sins.
Only when Hyde Riverâs secrets are exposed is the true extent of the danger fully revealed. What the town discovers is something far more deadly than anything theyâd imagined. Something that doesnât just stalk its victimsâit has the power to turn hearts black with decay as it slowly fills their souls with darkness.
