The Price Of Him

By Emma Marnie

Maggie Doyle has spent twenty years drowning in grief.

Ever since her four-year-old grandson Joey was killed in a hit-and-run accident, her life has become a blur of psychiatric wards, true-crime documentaries, and endless sorrow. Then, in her seventies and desperate enough to risk anything, Maggie clicks on a strange online advert:

Your soul for a miracle?

A week later, Joey comes home.

Not as the little boy she lost, but as the twenty-four-year-old man he should have become.

At first, it feels like the impossible has finally answered her prayers. Maggie's dark, empty house is full of warmth again. She can breathe. Laugh. Live.

But miracles comes with terms.

As Maggie begins to notice disturbing changes in the world around her, she discovers a horrifying truth: in this rewritten reality, a serial killer has been stalking women across her county for years. And the closer she looks at the grandson she brought back, the more she fears the unthinkable.

Now Maggie must face a choice no loving heart should ever have to make:

How much horror can one miracle cost?

Dark, devastating, and deeply human, The Price of Him is a haunting psychological thriller about grief, love, and the terrible things we might do to get back the ones we've lost.
