Carter and Megan Anderson's six-year-old daughter Caitlin is dying from bone cancer that has spread throughout her body. Medical science can't save their little girl-but they know something that can. When they were in college, they discovered a book of rituals, The Alchemy of Will by Dr. Allen Fincher, that enables people to do almost anything when they combine the power of will with the right sacrifice. Carter and Megan can save Caitlin if they sacrifice their second-born. But Caitlin is an only child. How far would you go to save your child? They decide to get pregnant and begin nine months of hell, preparing for the unthinkable. Their urban apartment becomes a domestic nightmare as their relationship and sanity erode. The dark secrets of their past point toward a darker future, and as they get closer and closer to saving their daughter, they descend deeper and deeper into unimaginable horror. The revised second edition of Descending Lines significantly expands and alters the first published edition, returning to the author's original, more twisted vision of the story.
