Evan Keller was only six years old when he witnessed a winged cryptid brutally abduct his older sister from their bedroom in the middle of the night, never to be found. Now, twenty years after his father was wrongly convicted for her disappearance, the mutilated and boneless body of another child has been discovered in the forest. Evan's obsession with uncovering the truth has led him down a path of conspiracy and paranoia, tracing dozens of similar disappearances, and gruesome discoveries, back to the Civil War-era 1860s. Can Evan find and stop what stalks the wilderness around the quickly-growing town of Black Hollow before any more children are harvested for their bones? Can he convince anyone that he's not delusional before he's forced to take matters into his own hands, regardless of who in his path gets hurt?
