Synopsis

An ominous butterfly house. A sinister legacy. An untraceable killer.  
 
In 1921, Marian Arnold, the heiress to a brewing baron's empire, seeks solace in the glass butterfly house on her family's Wisconsin estate as Prohibition and the deaths of her parents cast a long shadow over her shrinking world. When Marian's sanctuary is invaded by nightmarish visions, she grapples with the line between hallucinations of things to come and malevolent forces at play in the present. With dead butterflies as the killer's ominous signature, murders unfold at a steady pace. Marian, fearful she might be next, enlists the help of her childhood friend Felix, a war veteran with his own haunted past. 
 
In the present day, researcher Remy Shaw becomes entangled in an elderly biographer's quest to uncover the truth behind Marian Arnold's mysterious life and the unsolved murders linked to an infamous serial killer. Joined by Marian's great-great-grandson, can Remy expose the evil that lurks beneath broken wings? Or will the dark legacy surrounding the manor and its glass house destroy yet another generation?

    Good does not exist. There is only the ever-swirling chaos of evil lurking just beyond the veil of our perception waiting to strike arbitrarily without purpose or reason. When evil throws its wiry tentacles out into our world leaving an inky black sludge of death, sadness, and destruction in their wake it' s done not out of maliciousness but at random with no forethought, no agenda. There is no prayer you can say, no spell to cast, no totem, no god benevolent or otherwise to provide protection from the denizens of evil who walk among us to carry out an agenda the same as they have for a thousand millennia. The Cadillac Man is one of these denizens, an extension of evil, a collector of sorts. He picks up people and moves them around like pieces on a chessboard vampirically gaining strength through the deeds and situations into which they' ve been placed. There' s no bargaining, no favor to curry, no chance of altering your fate. When the long black Cadillac pulls up alongside all you can do is get in, but you won' t enjoy the ride.

    JACE: In the years since everything changed in Screaming Woods, including myself, the only place I've found solace is in the woods I protect as a park ranger. I'm not sure how to deal with my new . . . attributes as a wolfman. 
     
     
     
    I'm destined to be alone now; at least that's what I assumed. Until I meet Dakota. 
     
     
     
    Dakota moves to town to open a gourmet pet treat business, but I know there is more to the story. Fate has given me something else—her, my mate. Now I'll do anything to keep her safe and make her mine, even accept the monster I've become. 
     
     
     
    DAKOTA: When looking for a place to open a brick-and-mortar store for the business I run with my best friend, I wanted to take the opportunity to move far away. Something was calling me to Screaming Woods, so I took a chance.

    Then Jace growls his way into my life. He's a wolfman who loves nature and takes offense to my business, though I can't understand why. Hopefully my past won't come back to haunt me and try and take it all away from me. Even if it does, I'm knot running from fate.
