Bonnie Laine knew there was something wrong with her son. Â She'd seen the skin sloughing off his belly in long, wet sheets. Â She'd heard his screams in the night. Â And now she'd seen them. The followers, hunting her son. Â They want Evan for something, something too terrible to imagine. Â But Bonnie will do anything to save her son. Â Even if it means joining forces with a murderous man who may be far more dangerous than the creatures pursuing them.
