About The Book

To escape their abusive childhood, a group of friends burned down the religious compound where they were raised—ignoring the prophecy that says their worst fears will consume them within five years of the fire. Now, almost five years have passed, and one by one, the teens are turning up dead. They are in a race against time—with their worst fears not far behind.
