Between demon-ridden corpses trying to kill her, her mentor futilely trying to train her to be a hero, and her pathetically non-existent love life, Lenore has not been enjoying the end of days nearly as much as she hoped. If only she could meet a nice man, who treats her right, doesn’t expect her to save the world, and isn’t an incarnation of evil that threatens to extinguish the human race. Or not.

    But Ryder, her nineteen-year-old stepson, is bitter and wants nothing to do with her. And she can’t keep the grief at bay. Sometimes, it’s so strong, she wonders if life is worth living. A call from a cave diver in Mexico gives her hope of mending the relationship with her stepson. Before his death, her husband arranged a diving expedition as a birthday gift for his son. Kendall persuades Ryder to honor his father’s last wish. From the campus of Western Maryland College to the woods of Camp David and the caves of the Yucatán, Kendall and Ryder take a journey to discover what her husband worked so hard to hide, and to protect his treasured secrets from falling into the wrong hands. The choices they make will decide their fate and the future of others. Will they risk everything for the truth?
