About the book
Jack Mitchell lives a life built on lies. To his wife and teenage daughter, he’s a traveling government contractor. In truth, he’s a government hitman working for a shadow agency so secretive it doesn’t exist on paper. Jack’s latest contract should be simple: eliminate the heir to a powerful mafia family tied to human trafficking and weapons smuggling.
But when the hit draws him into a web of blood oaths and old-world rituals, Jack uncovers a darkness far more dangerous than the DeLuca crime empire. Beneath a remote hunting lodge in North Carolina lies something ancient, something that has been waiting for centuries to be set free.
As Jack fights to survive, he’s also fighting to keep his double life from destroying the family he’s sworn to protect. With the mafia closing in and a horror older than Christ himself, every choice he makes comes with a body count.
