The normally quiet life in a small, rural town is ripped apart by a series of strange and violent deaths. The sight of brutally dismembered bodies is becoming disturbingly commonplace in a place where this sort of crime was once unthinkable. All the townspeople know is that a dangerous predator keeps striking from the shadows and that no one is safe from its insatiable appetites. There have been a few sightings, but no one can really describe what theyve seen. What appears at first glance to be a gray man shifts into something far more elusive upon closer inspection. With the help of a horse she rescues and the wayward spirit of her Confederate soldier great-grandfather, two most unlikely championsthe towns veterinarian and her young daughteremerge. Hoping to make a deal and solve the mystery, the vets daughter makes a strange deal with a powerful yet shy entity whose true intentions are as mysterious as the deaths. This entitys power reaches across time and existence, even into the creation of entire worlds and civilizations. The stakes couldnt be higher: the fate of the soldiers soul hangs in the balance, as does the continued existence of his descendents. A battle is building between unknown forces, and the collision between them has the potential to change their destinies and future memories for all involved.
