JILLIAN:

After a harrowing encounter with a serial killer, a near-fatal battle with a malevolent woodland creature, and a failed assassination attempt on her life, Jillian packs up her Airstream and motors away from the Catskills. Her destination? Sunny California with its sandy beaches and tranquil ocean views. Standing between her and paradise is a white-knuckle drive through Utah’s Wasatch Mountain Range, but as long as she can beat the forecasted hundred-year storm, she’s golden.

Of course, as with so many ‘coincidences’ in her life, the ice, wind, and snow arrive early, trapping her in a dangerous blizzard while perched on a treacherous mountain switchback.

Help arrives in the form of a teenage boy, forcing Jilian to choose between freezing to death or accepting his offer of sanctuary in the home of his family.

The decision isn’t the no-brainer one might expect. The deeper Jillian digs into the ideology of the wealthy Olsen family — leaders of an exclusive survivalist community — and the longer she’s forced to stay, the more perilous the situation becomes. Even in this far-flung ‘prepper’ society, walled in by snow-capped mountains and trapped by a raging blizzard, Jillian isn’t safe from the paranormal creatures that hunt her, nor the human monsters who seem hell-bent on pursuing her to the ends of the Earth.

JACKSON:

Jackson is determined to stay far away from the Biosecurity Research Institute, The Rosalind Project, and Dr. Walt Richter, the brilliant scientist who bears responsibility for Jackson’s accursed ‘monster sight’.

But to achieve that goal, he must take extreme measures to protect himself, measures that lead him to a necromancer in New Orleans and force him to cross a glaring red line.

Long-term cloaking magick will make him nearly invisible to the demon cabal, the high-level abominations who thirst for his death.

And that kind of magick comes with a gut-wrenching price tag.
