About
Rival demon families control the world's wealth and power in this contemporary dark fantasy, an atmospheric and macabre epic that melds arcane magic with enthralling family drama, from New York Times bestselling author of The Wanderers.
Fiends walk among us.
Half-human, half-demon, each belonging to a diabolical bloodline going back millennia. They have embedded themselves in human society and control untold wealth, influence, and prestige.
That power does not come freely: It comes from buying human souls. And the great demonic families have long been embroiled in a cold war that could engulf the world if it ever turned bloody.
But that delicate balance is challenged when the fiends begin having dreams of a mysterious church in the American midwest: The families send five emissaries-their outsiders, their misfits, their black sheep-to investigate the structure.
Because it may harbor a power even darker and greater than that of the fiends. And the visions may turn out to be prophecies of war. Chuck Wendig is the New York Times bestselling author of Wanderers, The Book of Accidents, Wayward, Black River Orchard, The Staircase in the Woods, and over two dozen other books for adults and young adults. A finalist for the Astounding Award and an alum of the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, he has also written comics, games, and for film and television. He's known for his popular blog, terribleminds, and books about writing such as Damn Fine Story. He lives in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with his family. New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Accidents
