When I was a young boy my dad had told me stories of dawns creatures. Sharp canines, shadowy movements. Drawn to chaos in the dark but also wanderers of the day. Like those of the sea they were able to spell people with their sultry voices. Commanding those around them to do their bidding. Forever trapped in loneliness, never to be able to bare a child, they would take another’s as their own and turn them. The beauty of the goddess Athena herself. Something so beautifully dangerous, known to only lay ruin and death in their wake.

In the hushed wilderness of southwest Louisiana, shadows linger longer, and secrets sink deeper. When two bodies are discovered in the pine-strewn outskirts of Beauregard Parish, an innocent child dressed for church and his young stepmother whispers stir beneath the magnolias and coffee brews dark at The Oaks Café. Roy Allen Cormier’s arrest stuns a town that watched him grow up and ride his bike down gravel backroads. But guilt is never simple in a place where loyalty runs deep, and justice doesn’t always arrive clean.
