Description

A missing journalist. An ancient cult. And a hero with a past he’d rather keep hidden.

Former championship football coach Cole Bauer sought refuge on remote Verveld Island to escape a scandal that shattered his career. Now, he finds solace in the island’s rugged beauty and the quiet rhythm of his life as a handyman. But the storm that brews on the horizon is about to shatter the silence.

When a journalist investigating a sinister local cult disappears without a trace, Cole is reluctantly pulled into a maelstrom of secrets and lies. Paired with the island’s determined public defender, Hannah Pryce, Cole must navigate treacherous alliances, confront the island’s dark underbelly, and face the ghosts of his own past. As they delve deeper, they uncover a conspiracy that reaches further than they ever imagined, ensnaring the island’s inhabitants in a web of fear and manipulation.

Can Cole outrun the shadows of his past and uncover the truth before the island’s silence becomes a tomb? Or will he be consumed by the very storm he seeks to weather?
