The Tenth Curse
When faith dies, something darker takes its place.
Dr. Claire Holloway once carried the Word of God into the world. Now, scarred by grief and unbelief, she makes her living exposing miracles as fraud. But when a desperate sheriff summons her to Haven's Mill-a Louisiana town unraveling under plagues torn from the Book of Exodus-she finds herself facing horrors she cannot explain away.
The river runs red. Frogs rain from the sky. Darkness swallows the noon sun. At the center of it all is Elyse, a pale, silent girl the townsfolk whisper has cursed them after her mother's lynching. Some say she is the vessel of wrath. Others say she is the only thing holding the Angel of Death at bay.
As the biblical plagues strike one by one, Claire uncovers the town's blood-soaked history: a covenant forged generations ago, a debt written in innocent blood, and a final curse that will fall at midnight.
To stop it, Claire must face an impossible choice: sacrifice the girl-or herself.
A haunting blend of Southern Gothic and supernatural dread, The Tenth Curse is a story of faith twisted into fanaticism, of history refusing to stay buried, and of the terrible price of redemption.
