Two aging, eccentric women find their lives in rural Maine upended by the ominous discovery of a badly injured dog, harbinger of the decades-long stalker of one of them and conduit of shattering cosmic forces to the other.

Stephanie, fleeing an abusive relationship, has found herself run to ground in a small, decaying city at the edge of an exhausted wilderness, isolated by age, trauma, and disability. Her friend Sylvie, a gifted healer, turns to a complex system of revelatory personal faith to manage the ferocious tides of her mental illness. Between them, they must come to terms with the sinister implications raised by their fierce, beautiful, damaged rescue.

It will be the fight of their lives.

"A fantastic story that will appeal to horror fans...who enjoy small town stories and religious horror."--Booklist
