Cole Anderson thought his biggest challenge would be surviving high school, earning his place on the football field, and figuring out where he belonged. He was wrong. In the small town of Stillwater, Arkansas, strange events begin tearing holes in the life Cole thought he understood. Secrets buried by his family refuse to stay buried. People close to him know more than they're willing to say. And something ancient is watching from the shadows. As Cole uncovers the truth about his bloodline, he discovers that the darkness threatening Stillwater is connected to him in ways he never imagined. But he's not facing it alone. Friends, teammates, and unlikely allies are being drawn into a battle that reaches far beyond their hometown and perhaps even their world. Cole will have to decide what defines him, where he came from, or what he chooses to become. Because some doors are opened for a reason. And not everything that protects you wants to be seen. Stillwater: The Remnant is the first book in the Stillwater series, blending supernatural mystery, small town secrets, high school football, friendship, faith, and an expanding battle between darkness and light.
