Deep beneath the Appalachian ridges, something ancient and malevolent has clawed its way out of a coal mine’s pitch-black heart—and it’s hungry for more than rock. Now, a young mother, fighting to keep her fractured family whole, is the only one standing between this nightmare and the home she swore to protect. Armed with grit and a mother’s fury, she’ll descend into the darkness to track the beast, outsmart the shadows, and end the terror before it claims everything she loves.
