An ancient evil has already killed Scottie once, and is now stalking her along the Appalachian Trail, bent on destroying her soul for good.
Scottie Walker’s fingertips burn when she gets upset, and when her stressful job and emotionally abusive boyfriend push her to the brink, her touch almost burns down her townhouse. So she starts over—and the first thing she’s doing is a six month thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail…one that will dredge up a dark past life far worse than the current one she’s running from.
Something evil is stalking her…and the only person who can help save her is mysterious man on the trail who claims to know her from ‘before.’ The ‘before’ where they died together on this trail in 1959. And whatever this unknown, compelling force is, it’s not going to stop until it kills them again.
If her fire-wielding powers aren’t enough to stop it, the only hope of survival is coming from beyond the grave. So, armed only with her burgeoning magical abilities and the help of a rag-tag group of hikers, Scottie tries to outrun the Vexing. But the closer she gets to the truth of what happened in 1959, the closer she gets to the dead.
She knows them. She remembers them. And if she fails, she’ll become one of them. This time, for good.
