A town hidden deep in his past, where no one would think to look for them. But things are not what they seem in Barrows Bay. The idyllic island holds terrible secrets. An ancient evil lived here long before the first Irish settlers crashed upon its shores in a coffin ship.

But Martin's mother has plans for them. Plans that require sacrifice. And sacrifice requires blood.
