Until he's asked to kill.His would-be target is Ian Swift, a teenager struggling to survive in a rural landscape of economic depression and opioid use. Just another nobody-except his soul unlocks a portal to a powerful mythological entity, worshiped by an underworld cult. Raine's employer, a secretive government contractor, wants him first… or wants him dead.The Bird Room moves between the underworld and the all-too-real world, where corporate despair meets cult fanaticism.
