He begged for help, but then the line went dead, and no one has since been reported missing. When permission to perform a wellness check is denied by her superiors, Miriam takes some vacation time and books a ticket on the ferry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrown together with friendly but cagey locals, Miriam and Father Ryan soon learn that something about the island isn't right. There's a fishing port without boats, a town with no stores and no cars, and strange, bulbous purple wildflowers are growing everywhere. The two don't trust each other, but they begin to learn that an alliance, however uneasy, is a necessity. Because something evil lurks beneath the island--something ancient, eternal, hungry--and neither it nor the uncanny islanders have any intention of letting these newcomers leave. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA growing sense of dread intensifies until it explodes in this pulse-pounding supernatural horror about a buried Vatican secret and two lost souls drawn to a lonely island.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGretchen McNeil\u003c\/b\u003e has been a published young adult novelist since 2011, currently with Disney-Hyperion.
