Ghosts of Royston

Cole Danner SURVIVED. His wife and daughter DIDN'T. The authorities assured him they were GONE.

Alone, severely injured and suicidal, he has no memory of how he escaped the crash into a mountain lake that claimed his girls. Until a series of otherworldly and brutal flashbacks brings him back from the brink, convinces him the crash was no accident, and leads him on a bewildering journey in search of his presumed-dead daughter.

Sophie Danner SURVIVED. Her father and mother DIDN'T. Her new family assured her they were GONE.

Waking in a remote mountain shack with untreated injuries among members of a strange, cult-like community, she’s being impossibly mistaken for someone else - a teen girl who died ten years ago under mysterious circumstances. As the dark history of the Community of Royston unravels, her only chance for survival…is to escape.

As Sophie fights for her freedom and her life, and Cole gives in to the violent forces guiding him to her, their paths race toward a heart-pounding collision and a fatal conclusion.
