Darkness and death have come to Torch Falls. This is the last hour.
Horror novelist Jared Cole wakes from a coma with a terrifying curse: he can see souls—and experience the darkness growing inside them. The visions can be devastating and strike without warning.
Returning to his hometown to salvage his career, he’s triggered by an accident that opens a supernatural link with Kit, a cloudy-eyed boy whose seizures reveal horrifying prophecies. It’s a gateway between their souls—a dark door that should have stayed sealed.
A parasitic shadow emerges from the breach, infecting minds with thoughts of murder and self-destruction. Now, this sleepy Montana town is eating itself alive. The streets run red with blood from grisly acts of violence that Kit predicts with haunting precision—each vision tearing at the bond that’s made him and Jared reluctant brothers in terror.
With each incident, Jared grows weaker and more monstrous as the entity drains his life force. He realizes the creature is hunting Kit—and severing their connection may be the only way to stop the carnage. But as the town tears itself apart and he loses more of his humanity with each passing hour, he faces an impossible choice …
He has no idea how to slam this hell-gate shut—and closing it might destroy the only person who understands his curse.
