Publisher's Synopsis
Deep in the swamps of Louisiana an ancient, mystical creature, the last of its kind, driven by a vengeance-fueled rage, is unwittingly drawn into a supernatural journey where past and present collide. Three high school students, on a simple school project, suddenly find themselves mysteriously linked to a centuries-old conflict between the creature and those foolish enough to enter the swamp. Van Tyler, a young man driven more by hormones than honor, finds himself at the center of a horrific case of mistaken identity. He is blamed for the bloodshed that spans centuries. The Sheriff is convinced that Van is responsible for the mutilated bodies that keep turning up in the swamps of St. Dumaine Parish. The creature is convinced that the killings started, hundreds of years ago, by Van's own hands.Their fates are linked in a deadly battle for survival. They will need to work together to end the bloodshed. Can they stop the killing long enough to form an alliance that bridges the gap between the horrors of the past and the hope of the future?
