In the small town of Black Creek, Detective Jonah Calloway uncovers a supernatural secret that's been buried for generations.
When residents begin to vanish without explanation, Calloway's investigation leads him to ancient covenants binding the town to mysterious entities that demand payment in blood. With each disappearance, dark symbols appear-marks that Calloway begins to find on his own skin.
As the blackened veins spread across his body, Calloway races to break the town's curse. His only allies: a skeptical police partner, a reclusive historian, and an eight-year-old boy who sees what others cannot.
But some bargains aren't meant to be broken. Some collectors always claim what's theirs. And in Black Creek, the debt is coming due.
