A young man with an extraordinary gift. A zealous commune isolated from the world. What could possibly go wrong? Fifteen-year-old Joshua Moses has spent his life nestled in the cradle of the Eternal Spring. His commune family doesn’t know he harbors a dark and powerful secret. If they find out, they might hail him as a prophet—or cast him out forever. The Spring is all Joshua has ever known, and he believes in its message with his whole heart. However, he senses it stands in jeopardy because of a terrible secret the Reverend has been hiding from his flock. Marshall Hudson is an Army sergeant with a stellar career history and intuition he’s learned never to ignore. As he nears retirement, strange dreams summon him to the south. What lies ahead for him there is unknown, but Marshall has never shied away from danger. He hangs up his uniform and heads to the place in his visions. What he discovers is unlike anything he expected. There is a darkness hidden in Eternal Spring, one hungry for them all. Marshall and Joshua are the only ones capable of stopping this imminent danger. And Joshua has a plan to keep the commune alive. One that uses his power at any cost.
