Dr. Jennifer Paige and her younger sister, Lisa, arrive in the tranquil mountain town of Snowfield, California, only to find an unsettling silence. The town is deserted; its only inhabitants are the disturbingly mutilated corpses left behind. What initially seems like a madman's work quickly spirals into unimaginable horror. More bodies are discovered, each with grotesque and inexplicable injuries that leave authorities baffled and terrified. Theories escalate, ranging from serial killers to biological warfare. Yet, the ghastly truth, rooted in ancient history and cosmic dread, proves far more monstrous than any human explanation. The few remaining survivors must confront an intelligent, shapeshifting entity of immense power. They face a desperate race to unravel the terrifying mystery of the "Ancient Enemy" before they become its next victims in this quintessential small-town horror novel.
