    Summary

    Jayce Talis is a jaded reporter with a sharp tongue, a tape recorder, and an unhealthy fascination with cults.
    The case seems simple: a missing girl, a commune deep in the woods, a story waiting to be written.

    But the leader greets him like he has been waiting for him his whole life. Smiles like he knows him. Watches like he’s remembering something.

    And around them, the trees whisper. The dirt breathes.

    And the orchard is blooming.
