Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always
called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious
newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world that had been hidden in
plain sight all along. A Gatlin that harbored ancient secrets beneath its
moss-covered oaks and cracked sidewalks. A Gatlin where a curse has marked
Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals for generations. A Gatlin where
impossible, magical, life-altering events happen.
Sometimes life-ending.
Together they can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a
tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their
relationship. And now that Ethan's eyes have been opened to the darker side of
Gatlin, there's no going back. Haunted by strange visions only he can see,
Ethan is pulled deeper into his town's tangled history and finds himself caught
up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing
the South, where nothing is as it seems.
