Scorned by her zealot mother after being raped by a cult leader who calls himself The Shepherd, eighteen-year-old Angel knows that her only hope of survival is escape. On a rainy September night, she flees her mother's home, unaware of the supernatural forces that silently guide her on her journey to Littlebrook, a poor mountain village where nothing ever changes and nothing is as innocent as it seems. Alone and afraid, Angel finds an ally in thirty-six-year-old Don Hanson, the gentle doctor with a haunted past. Angel's resemblance to Mary, the dead wife of Don's youth, is the eerie magnet that draws him to her, stirring his shattered heart to love again. But for Don and Angel, love comes at a high price, as Angel's mysterious appearance creates a tempest in Littlebrook, awakening ghosts from the past, and striking vengeance in the dark heart of an enemy Angel didn't know she had.
