Seit dem schicksalhaften Tag am Pagan Stone, als Fox, Caleb und Gage Blutsbrüder geworden sind, wird die kleine Stadt Hawkins Hollow alle sieben Jahre sieben Tage lang von mysteriösen Ereignissen heimgesucht. Wieder naht die Zeit und die Freunde sammeln ihre Kräfte gegen die Dunkelheit. Denn seit damals kann Fox O'Dell die Gedanken anderer Menschen wahrnehmen. Seit Layla Darnell in der Stadt lebt spürt Fox, dass ihre Liebe dem Schrecken Einhalt gebieten kann. Doch Layla zögert, denn sie weiß: Wenn sie sich einmal öffnet, wird sie schutzlos einem Verlangen ausgeliefert sein, das die Liebenden zerstören kann.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts continues the thrilling trilogy of a town plagued by evil-and the three men and three women brought together by fate to fight it.
For Fox, Caleb, Gage and the other residents of Hawkins Hollow, the number seven portends doom-ever since, as boys, they freed a demon trapped for centuries when their blood spilled upon The Pagan Stone…
Now, as the dreaded seventh month looms before them, the men can feel the storm brewing. Already they are plagued by visions of death and destruction. But this year, they are better prepared, joined in their battle by three women who have come to The Hollow. Layla, Quinn, and Cybil are somehow connected to the demon, just as the men are connected to the force that trapped it.
Since that day at The Pagan Stone, town lawyer Fox has been able to see into others' minds, a talent he shares with Layla. He must earn her trust, because their link will help fight the darkness that threatens to engulf the town. But Layla is having trouble coming to terms with her newfound ability-and this intimate connection to Fox. She knows that once she opens her mind, she'll have no defenses against the desire that threatens to consume them both…
