An ancient evil lurks just beneath the surface of our world in this
splendidly dark horror tale inspired by ancient folklore, history, and
mythology
A decade ago, teacher Nathan Brookes saw four of his students walk up a
hill and vanish. Only one returned--Olivia--starved, terrified, and with
no memory of where she'd been. Questioned by the police but released for
lack of evidence, Nathan spent the years trying to forget.
When a body is found in the same ancient woodland where they
disappeared, it is first believed to be one of the missing children, but
is soon identified as a Bronze Age warrior, nothing more than an
archaeological curiosity. Yet Nathan starts to have horrific visions of
the students, alive but trapped. Then Olivia reappears, desperate that
the warrior's body be returned to the earth. For he is the only thing
keeping a terrible evil at bay . . .
