The past never dies. It waits.

Tess Cooper thought she'd escaped. For twenty years, she's been running from a powerful Brujo, his dark Central American magic allowing him to reach into her mind and bend her to his will.

All because she rejected him in high school.

Now he's found her again.

Now with Tess facing jail time, she realizes her tormentor has escalated his game. And Tess has nowhere left to hide.

With her freedom hanging in the balance and her carefully built new life crumbling, Tess makes a desperate move: seeking out Luis, her stalker's father, a legendary Brujo whose ruthlessness is matched only by his power.

But as Tess is drawn deeper into a shadowy world of ancient magic and deadly bargains, she discovers she's just a pawn in a much larger game. And the price of Luis's help might cost more than she's willing to pay.
