Skonar Gray has grown up in a house full of violence, and his dread continues to intensify. Dead souls wander the forest outside, but before long, Skonar discovers that the real monster is within himself.
Odus, Skonar's father, has always been abusive, but when the basis of his horrific behavior comes to light, a shocked Skonar is helpless to escape the wickedness. Skonar decides to relinquish his lover for her own protection, but without Adrianna, his only source of solace in his unstable world, he struggles as mysterious family secrets continue to emerge.
In a preternatural battle, Skonar is forced to fight his brother, Dugren, who, after being thrashed by their father, transitions into his inner beast-and Skonar feels his own transformation looming. Any hope he has of escaping the family scourge is fading, and he must find a way to survive its deadly truth.
In this arresting tale about choosing one's own fate, the struggle for power originates with the father. For any chance to save his future, Skonar must learn the secrets of his family's past-and more lives are at stake than just his own. Can Skonar defeat these dark powers before it's too late?
