From the author of An Ogham Wood and Seasons of the Sacred Earth: It's been years since thirteen-year-old William Chevalier lost his mother in a freak auto accident in New Orleans, though sometimes it feels like she's still around, keeping an eye on things. But her death broke his father, and the family retreated to an inherited farm in the remote Cajun country of Cenla. It is a peculiar place out of sync with the rest of the world. The folk keep to an old way of life forgotten elsewhere, and the remotest regions of the bayous are said to be haunted by strange alligator men and candle flicker ghosts. In this quiet place where people don't even lock their doors, his family is finally on the mend. Then the unspeakable happened, and his principal is found dead. Not long after, William and his friends discover a burned out shack deep in the swamp that holds the remains of a woman brutally murdered more than a decade before. As the body count grows, William becomes evermore certain the deaths are connected by a preternatural thread somehow tied to his family. But between murderous moonshiners, a mysterious stripper, a backcountry spy, a misanthropic woodsman and a friend who flies rocket ships, it's hard to know who to count on.
