As a guide to the mysterious island of Croatoan, where people have been disappearing—and occasionally appearing—since millennia before 1587's Lost Colony, Michael Walker finds himself drawn back to the island, a place he'd sworn never to return to after his wife was one of those lost there. Along with people he finds loathsome watching and directing his every action, he and his resentful teenage daughter meet some people they hope they can trust. But more and more he realizes the danger they have been forced into. More and more, getting out alive looks impossible. Tension keeps rising. The situation keeps getting worse. The need to escape gets more and more urgent. Can they do it? Without disappearing themselves? *The abusive antagonists are the most despicable and loathsome characters I've ever come up with.*
