PROLOGUE

CROSS

Thirteen years old

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SON,” my mother says softly to me while we stand at the entrance of Oak Grove, my father’s church

I hate being here after hours It gives me the creeps The walls creak, and the wind alwaysso deep down in my bones that I’m cold for hours after I leave I can’t explain it, but it feels like evil is inside these walls Which is stupid since this is a place of worship where people come to heal—God’s house My father says it has power, but I have yet to see that I have never witnessed a miracle that couldn’t be explained by science
