The monster Josh Taylor feared is free-and it's all his fault.
Not only have Josh's actions put his family and friends in danger, they've thrown Blackbirch into elemental chaos, forcing the town to evacuate.
Fleeing with his friends to his former home in the city, they follow clues left by his mom and aunt to uncover long-held secrets, and truths that lead to danger and loss.
This makes Josh question if he can avoid the doomed history of the Gifters before him, and if his magick is enough to defeat a creature willing to violate the laws of nature to claw its way back to life.
