Jared Cole thought surviving a coma would be the hardest fight of his life. Instead, he woke with a curse: the ability to see human souls, along with the darkness festering inside them. Every vision comes without warning, leaving him shattered.
When he returns to his hometown, an accident forges a psychic bond with Kit, a cloudy-eyed boy whose seizures predict unspeakable violence. Together, they open a door that should have stayed closed—a gateway leaking something ravenous and cruel into Torch Falls.
Now, a parasitic shadow infects minds, driving ordinary people to murder. Each attack weakens Jared and tightens the monster’s grip on Kit.
To save the boy, Jared must sever their bond. But breaking it might unleash a blood-soaked apocalypse.
