When Detective Kai Tsosie returns to his rain-soaked hometown of Blackwater, he expects nothing more than a routine investigation. But the case of missing woman Sarah Black quickly unravels into something far more sinister. As Kai delves deeper into the town's dark past, aided by the skeptical Sheriff Maggie O'Connell, he finds himself caught between modern law enforcement and the ancient forces that still linger in the shadows.
Blackwater is a town built on secrets-secrets buried in the depths of its mist-covered forests, whispered by its relentless river, and guarded by a powerful family whose influence stretches across generations. The deeper Kai investigates, the more he realizes that the disappearances plaguing the town aren't random-they're part of a pattern, a chilling legacy woven into the land itself. And something, lurking just beneath the surface, is watching.
Blending supernatural horror with gripping crime fiction, Blackwater is a haunting tale of intergenerational trauma, environmental exploitation, and the uneasy balance between the human and the unknown. As Kai fights to expose the truth, he must also confront his own past-before Blackwater claims him as its next victim.
