"Seek the gates and save the boy."
Welcome to Bettendorf. At first glance, it seems like a typical Midwestern town, but things are not what they seem. A darkness grows there, undiscovered until now.
High schooler Jack Davies sees the darkness coming; he lives with it. Cold voices call out from the closet door, and dead hands reach from under his bed, all drawn to this teenager. Although he doesn't know it, Jack wields an immense gift-the power to travel between realities.
Now, a smooth-talking preacher has come to Bettendorf promising redemption for all who follow his words. But like Jack, this preacher has a secret. Those who heed his call become pawns in his plan to awaken an ancient evil, long ago imprisoned in the dank caves of Devils Glen Park.
With the help of friends and strangers, Jack must discover his purpose before it's too late. If he fails, malevolent forces will cast our world into darkness forever.
