In the New Mexico wilderness, something ancient stirs.
When mercenaries Micah, Minerva, and “the Englishman” are hired to retrieve a young boy from a remote cult compound called Little Heaven, they expect resistance—not madness.
But from the moment they arrive, unease takes hold. Whispers in the trees. Shadows that move against nature. A towering monolith known only as the Black Rock looming over the forest like an omen. As paranoia grips the settlement, escape becomes impossible.
Something is watching. Something is hungry.
Nick Cutter, acclaimed author of The Troop, delivers an unrelenting descent into psychological and supernatural horror. These mercenaries are trained for anything—except what’s waking beneath Little Heaven.
Will they survive the darkness? Or be consumed by it?
