When two boys vanish from her hometown, Daphne Gauge notices uncanny parallels to her brother's disappearance 30 years earlier. Symbols of an ancient Norse god. Rumors of a promise to reward the town's faithful with wealth and power, for a price. She warns her husband that another sacrifice is imminent, but just like last time, no one believes her.

This leaves her with a desperate choice: investigate with limited resources, or give in to the FBI's request for an interview. For years, they've wanted a member of the Gauge family to go on record about the tragedy back in 1988. If she agrees to a deposition now, Daphne must confess her family's dark secrets. But she also might have one last chance to unmask the killer from back then . . . and now.
