Five years ago, Keelyn Blake?s stepfather took her family hostage, raving about Lucent, a being who forced him to commit unspeakable acts. Even the best of the FBI?s hostage negotiators failed to overcome the man?s delusions. Only some of the family made it out alive. Now Lucent is back-- and he?s no hallucination. He has kidnapped Keelyn?s niece, and although Keelyn is estranged from her half- sister, she feels compelled to save what little family she has left.
