The town's children dress like little plague doctors and the adults are hellbent on getting Cabot out by nightfall. Despite being alone and under attack, Cabot won't leave without his son.

Allred & Gordon B. White (JournalStone, 2022) What if the world you thought you knew was a lie older than God? As children, Jeffrey and Serena each caught a glimpse beyond the veil of the everyday: A hidden cult guarded by women with the power to change reality. A myth kept quiet by a watcher with the strength to unmake the universe. A darkness smiling behind rows of teeth without end. Although Jeffrey and Serena have only just met, their lives have centered around the mystery of the Quiet Woman. Haunted by their knowledge and driven by a desire to change the minds and souls of those who enforce the rules, they're willing to sacrifice anything, including themselves. Soon the rituals will be complete and the Quiet Woman will come. And in Her eyes will be the stars, and in Her smile, the world. Check out the Booklist review or Goodreads reader reviews.
