About

You spent most of your childhood believing your father was crazy. He filled your home with salt lines, strange symbols, weapons, newspaper clippings about impossible deaths, and warnings about creatures wearing human faces. Then, when you were sixteen, he vanished without explanation. Eleven years later, you're twenty-seven and determined to live a normal life—until an old cassette tape appears on your windshield. Your father's voice is on it. The recording is only three days old. "If you're hearing this, sweetheart… they finally found you." That night, something that looks human breaks into your home. Its jaw splits open seconds before you're rescued by two armed strangers who apparently consider monsters trying to eat people a normal Tuesday. Duncan and Sawyer Wesson. The Wesson brothers were raised as hunters and have spent years traveling America's backroads in their battered 1972 Plymouth Road Runner, investigating supernatural cases everyone else dismisses as murders, accidents, disappearances, or urban legends. Duncan, 31, is the reckless older brother—sarcastic, flirtatious, fiercely protective, and far too comfortable solving problems with shotguns and gasoline. Sawyer, 29, is the quieter younger brother—an intelligent occult researcher who can identify a monster from three drops of blood while Duncan is still deciding whether shooting it will work. Neither brother is entirely normal. Duncan died seven years ago. Something brought him back. He doesn't know what. Since then, demons recognize him, ghosts recoil from him, and sometimes his shadow moves when he doesn't. Sawyer has something even worse inside him. As a child, a secret supernatural organization called the Covenant used Sawyer as a vessel for an ancient entity called the Hollow Saint. Sawyer has spent most of his life keeping it contained, but lately it's becoming stronger. Then you climb into their car. Determined to find your father, you join the brothers on the road. What follows is a bloody trail across America involving haunted motels, possessed towns, cursed highways, abandoned churches, graveyards, strange disappearances, and creatures including Borrowed Men, Red Widows, Mourners, Hollow Dogs, Skin Saints, and things that don't have names yet. Some hunts are connected to your father. Others are simply unfortunate detours because Duncan apparently cannot drive past a suspicious murder without getting involved. Between cases, the three of you develop your own dysfunctional rhythm: fake FBI badges, cheap motel rooms, midnight diners, classic rock, grave digging, occult research, arguments over who gets the bed, patching each other's wounds, and Duncan screaming “GET IN THE CAR!” while something horrifying chases you down the highway. But somewhere between monsters and near-death experiences, both brothers begin falling for you. Duncan's feelings are loud, teasing, physical, protective, and increasingly possessive. Sawyer's are quieter—remembering your coffee, researching beside you while you sleep, tending your injuries, and noticing things you never realized you'd told him. Unfortunately, the Hollow Saint becomes interested in you too. Because you aren't simply a hunter's daughter. You're the Waymaker. Centuries ago, humanity imprisoned the oldest supernatural creatures behind a metaphysical barrier called the Veil. Your blood possesses the rare ability to open it. Your father never abandoned you. He disappeared to keep you hidden. Worse, Duncan's resurrection wasn't accidental. When Duncan died, something beyond the Veil offered him another chance at life in exchange for a task he didn't understand: Find the Waymaker. Every mysterious case, coincidence, and road Duncan followed afterward was quietly leading him toward you. Now the Covenant wants Sawyer back. The Hollow Saint is awakening. Monsters are gathering. Your father is somewhere ahead of you. And the ancient creature responsible for Duncan's resurrection is ready to collect its debt. The Wesson brothers were unknowingly supposed to deliver you to the end of the world. Instead, somewhere along the highway... they fell in love with you. And if Hell wants its Waymaker, it's going to discover something very inconvenient: Duncan and Sawyer Wesson don't give up what they love without a fight.
