Three survivors could not escape their deadly fate. Only one remains…

Two decades ago, one adult and three children miraculously escaped a deadly New Mexico cult. The aftermath shocked the nation. But now it appears that none of them will escape… 

Someone is ushering the last of the cult’s ‘chosen’ disciples into the next world. He has claimed three of his final victims…only one remains.

Kelly Stone—a survivor of the Butler Divinity Mission—grew up safely in the arms of an adoptive family, her identity concealed from public record. Now the owner of a New Hampshire inn and the single mother of a three-year-old daughter, Kelly is almost content with her life. But the past is closing in on her, and this time there is nowhere to run.

Ian Campbell—a determined cop with personal ties to the New Mexico tragedy—will risk everything to keep Kelly alive. But it all comes down to a daring game of courage and confrontation to finally decide the fate of the fourth victim . . .
