Twenty years ago, the Banks children disappeared near the frozen shores of Jordan Lake. They left no trace, but whispers of ghostly apparitions have haunted the town of Pittsboro ever since.

Now, beneath the lake's icy surface, a vengeful spirit stirs. As the past begins to unravel, one person discovers that the supernatural forces at play are far more dangerous than anyone imagined. Trapped between history and magic, they must face the chilling truth: some nightmares never sleep . . . and the dead don't always stay buried.

In this haunting sequel to The Stranger in the Shadows, ghostly horrors and powerful magic collide. The lake keeps secrets that refuse to stay hidden-and no one is safe from what lurks beneath.
