    We are introduced to Nancy Flanagan, a young Irish Catholic woman who migrates from post-war Ireland to England to train as a nurse. The narrative chronicles her inner turmoil as she struggles with the guilt surrounding her decision to leave her illegitimate child, Maeve, in Ireland. The story unfolds as Nancy navigates life in a new country post-World War II, encountering haunting memories, building friendships, and witnessing tragic moments as she diligently pursues her nursing career. The plot thickens when she becomes deeply involved with a mysterious patient, John, who bears physical and emotional scars from his past, which links him to the horrors of war and a demonic presence that threatens to tear Nancy's life apart. She must fight what pursues her, and traveling to Argentina with a ragtag team, she is unsure what awaits her.   
    The story features paranormal events, and Nancy and John are linked to mythical beings and evil that threaten to destroy them. In the decision to right the wrongs of her past, Nancy unravels mysteries and discovers her latent gifts. Nancy is a relatable heroine wrestling with her past decisions, channelling her guilt into her work and the care of others. John, the enigmatic patient, evokes both sympathy and suspicion as his traumatic stories reveal a multifaceted individual shaped by the tumult of history. Suspense builds throughout the narrative, especially by introducing the supernatural elements represented by the demonic creature Azazel. This presence augments the tension within the plot and symbolises Nancy's internal struggles and the burden of her guilt.   
    This noirish, quickly-paced, and emotionally charged thriller features an intriguing character development that blends effortlessly with a deeply disturbing plotline.

    In the barren expanse of Truth or Consequences, where the horizon stretches like an endless canvas of desolation, a spectral awakening unfolds. Honthas emerge from a century-long slumber with an appetite for blood. 
    Bud, a man marked by the cruel hand of fate, seeks refuge from the haunting echoes of his past, stained with the violent memory of a love lost.

United by circumstance, a fellowship emerges from the ashes – a tribe of indigenous survivors bound by a collective quest for survival. They grapple with the cryptic origins of the honthas, seeking wisdom from their elders. 
    In the American Southwest, where the arid winds whisper secrets and the land itself bears witness to untold tragedies, Bud and his newfound companions navigate the treacherous terrain of both the supernatural and the human soul. The journey becomes a harrowing dance between bloodlust and resilience, where the threads of fate are woven with the rugged strands of survival, friendship, and the eternal ache of grief.
