WINNER OF THE 2025 EVVY AWARD FOR HORROR!

- An ancient village hidden deep in the Louisiana bayous

- A dark promise made centuries ago that remains unfulfilled to this day

- An eerie tie between the town and a present-day ghost hunter

In this gripping paranormal thriller set in rural Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, supernatural expert Landry Drake and his crew return to fight evil forces in Pendle, the oldest settlement in Louisiana. The town was built by English people fleeing persecution, and some of the emigres escaped just in time to avoid facing the gallows for their evil deeds. Their ancestors rule the tiny village to this day.
The first mayor of Pendle enters into an agreement which will guarantee the town’s safety and security forever, but which comes at a terrible price. When the sister of Landry’s friend Jack Blair goes missing in Pendle, Landry and Jack travel there to find her. But instead of rescue, Landry finds himself inextricably drawn to the mysterious, eerie hamlet hidden in the swamps far from civilization.
Something about Pendle haunts his past, and an ancient book reveals his own ties to the town, its history and the family who has controlled it for hundreds of years. As the mystery unfolds, Landry faces losing the things he loves because of the risks he takes and the life he cannot give up.
The ultimate battle comes as the truth is revealed, leaving Landry to choose what he will save. Can he free the unfortunates in Pendle who are virtual captives in their own town without losing everything he holds dear, including his own life?

Hated the audible narration

not engaging. couldn't focus on the story because it's so monotone. unfortunately, hated it until I stopped it. couldn't even finish the book
