Here there are angels. Here this is sin. Take my hand, let me show you salvation.

The girl in the woods is back. She is beauty. She is vengeance. She is end times.

Recovering heroin addict Scott Hennessey finds her, beguiling and mystical, floating in the rain. He is drawn into her embrace, and her body becomes his new obsession. But he senses her danger and knows she is linked to a past he has tried to forget—a past she will awaken with fire and passion.

The memories return and with them, the darkness. On the precipice of despair, Scott must confront the shadows he has left behind. His ruined soul leads him from the cold city streets to the wild prairies of South Dakota, and Mia Floats Softly, his beautiful addiction, is with him every step of the way, haunting his heart and his dreams.
