Abigail Walters knows that after an Everhaven resident dies, they
will come to her, just as she knows she will always be an outcast due
to her late father’s crimes. What's more, she can't leave Everhaven
no matter how badly she may want to escape. No resident can cross its
border into the outside world. When
a string of random deaths and missing corpses plagues the town,
Abigail begins to wonder whether her own father’s death was
accidental, or if he was punished for seeking something he was never
meant to find. Unable to trust the authorities, Abigail embarks on a
mission to finish what her father started; uncover the truth of a
terrifying town conspiracy that threatens a fate far worse than
becoming a restless corpse.
