Some water heals. Some water hungers.
Alan and Heather Hammerstun move to a quiet house in the shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains, desperate to rebuild after loss and heartbreak. But the forest behind their new home hides something ancient—a lake whose waters can cure any wound. When Alan witnesses a miraculous recovery, he begins to understand that the lake’s gifts come at a terrible cost.
As strange events multiply, the darkness around the water begins to seep into their lives, twisting grief into madness. To save his wife and himself, Alan must confront the evil that dwells beneath the surface.
Cradle Lake by award-winning author Ronald Malfi is a haunting tale of redemption, obsession, and the terrible price of hope.
