Synopsis

Gloosecap Island, off the coast of Maine...shrouded in fog...ringed by icy gray water. Here the Carlson family comes home to a tortuously intensifying nightmare -- first in the guise of a beautiful but calculating woman, then in the shape of a vengeful wraith with glistening bones...coils of black hair...cold, staring eyes...and a horrifying command of this living world. Born in violent death not even the long past could bury...molded by a hatred that feeds the dark, she will haunt John, Julia, and their daughter Bri, in pursuit of the ultimate retribution. For hers is an unholy call ofr blood for blood that nothing can stop...except the one terrifying price no man...and, especially, no woman...can ever pay.
