The Relict (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986638713)

The discovery of skeletal remains opens old wounds in a quiet Midwestern community decades after multiple young women had vanished without a trace from the area. Aging irreverent metalhead Russell Stander returns to the wooded site of his big sister's crude interment filled with foreboding and hoping for closure. Soon after, all near the grim visage known locally as Skull Rock, more badly decomposed human remains are soon discovered. Stander enlists the help of recently retired detective Tom Secrist to help him unravel the age-old allure of Skull Rock, and the disturbing intent behind the contemporary psychopaths seeding its mountainside with corpses. But each spiraling step plunges both men deeper into an ancient horror centuries in the making.

Gunnar, a Norseman settler, comes face to face with the evil that slaughtered his family. To save his clan, Gunnar undertakes a harrowing odyssey across the untamed wilderness of North America. Desperate to stay one step ahead of the malevolent force that stalks him.

Two men, born a thousand years apart, their destinies bound together by a timeless evil. Can either man unravel the mystery of the monstrous thing lurking unseen before it consumes them and everyone they love...?
