Twenty-four years have passed since Brent Lawton, Marta Rosales, and Karen McLaughlin had their lives upended by a black-magic witch named Tara Baker. Brent never left his hometown of Millsville, Ohio. Now a police officer and a devoted husband with three children, he's built a life rooted in the strengths of faith and family. But something dark is stirring within the peaceful suburb.
Residents are having premonitions. Something is coming. Something evil.
From the shadows of ancient history, Picti high priests Brendan Cadeyrn and Stephanie O'Leary?Tara's former mentor?have unearthed relics of a long-dead religion. One so powerful it once repelled the legions of ancient Rome. With hundreds of followers at their backs, they intend to resurrect the religion, and with it, a power that has lain dormant for over a millennium. Their goal is simple: Dominating power. Their warning is clear: No one stands in their way. But one family will. With a chilling twist few will see coming, this is the story of a family at war. They will confront the darkness and put their lives on the line for the sake of their God, their community, and each other.
