A palm reader is swept into a bizarre missing-child case in terrifying Southern Gothic page-turner with a twist you won't see coming, from the '21st century's Richard Matheson' (Richard Chizmar, Chasing the Boogeyman.)

After striking out on her own as a teen mother, Madi Price is forced to return to her hometown of Brandywine, Virginia, with her seventeen-year-old daughter. With nothing to her name, she scrapes together a living as a palm reader at the local farmer's market.

It's at the market that she reconnects with her high school boyfriend Henry McCabe, now a reclusive local fisherman whose infant son, Skyler, went missing five years ago. Everyone in town is sure Skyler is dead, but when Madi reads Henry's palm, she's haunted by strange and disturbing visions that suggest otherwise. As she follows the thread of these visions, Madi discovers a terrifying monster waiting at the centre of the labyrinth — and it's coming for everyone she holds dear.
