    Summary

    Floating silently in the beam of light you came face to face—because it was a face, human, almost and defying all reason—with the thing that had pulled you into the depths.

    Its eyes that you recognized as understanding were wide, its slit pupils blown and pleading. Its mouth full of predator teeth hung open, a thin rasp audible as a hand with talons for nails and webbing between its fingers reached out in the light for you.

    As your head cleared enough for you to listen to it trying to speak, the ungodly burning in your lungs and the darkening edges of your vision caused your body to move on its own.

    Or, when your parent’s death leaves the family in shambles, you are--as always--the only one equipped to pick up the pieces. Unfortunately that means returning to their cabin in the tiny, seaside mountain town you swore never to set foot in again. But when the quarry lake turns out to be full of more than just old cigarettes and highway run off, a supernatural trafficking plot is revealed. It’s then that you find yourself tasked with saving much more than your family’s old photo albums.
