Every thirteen years, the cicadas rise, and something in Carrion, Georgia, rises with them.
When a local teen disappears, leaving only blood behind in her family’s failing motel, Neera Singh refuses to look away. In a town where the wealthy thrive and the rest barely survive, she joins forces with three other outsiders: a judge’s secretive son, a reclusive heiress, and the child of a local hitman.
Their search for the truth uncovers a chain of disappearances stretching back generations and a legend buried in the red clay. Beneath the quiet surface of Lake Clearwater, an ancient power stirs, whispering promises and demanding sacrifice.
When Devils Sing by Xan Kaur is a haunting Southern Gothic horror about secrets, survival, and the monsters we inherit.
