New England. An ancient evil.

At its heart, a love story.

To save her,
he must face
what lies within.

Newly engaged, Michael Cameron and Sophia Spencer imagine a life together in New England. Michael is a young doctor. Sophia is a documentarian returning from the Middle East, where she investigated ancient paganism. She brings medicine from Syria to help a girl targeted by the cult of Lilith.

In the isolated woods of New England, something goes terribly wrong. Grieving her father’s sudden death, Sophia begins to violently unravel. Michael believes more than illness threatens her. To save the woman he loves, he must confront Lilith and the darkness within himself, discovering an identity and a calling he never knew he possessed.
