    Summary

    Dulvey, Louisiana, isn’t the kind of place that welcomes strangers—especially not ones like Ethan Winters, who shows up asking questions about his missing wife.

    When you cross paths with him, what begins as a simple act of kindness drags you both into a nightmare stitched from small-town charm and rot. The Bakers are dead—or they’re not. The deputy knows more than he says. The swamp hums with something that remembers.

    As the storm builds over Dulvey, the two of you uncover a truth that won’t stay buried—a truth that binds Ethan’s missing wife, the Bakers’ history, and the town itself in something older and hungrier than grief.

    And the closer you get to each other, the harder it becomes to tell if the real danger lies in the swamp…
    or in what it awakens between you.
