Welcome Back To Devil’s Pit

It's been eight years since a wildfire consumed the town of Heaven's Peak. Jennifer Miller, now sixteen, remembers nothing of the tragedies she endured as a child. That’s until memories begin surfacing in her dreams, echoes from her past growing louder each night.

Desperate for answers and haunted by nightmares, Jennifer returns to the now-desolate town of Heaven’s Peak.

But rumors speak of strange sightings, mysterious disappearances, and creatures that lurk in the dark.

Are the legends surrounding the ghost town true? The deeper she digs, the more Jennifer uncovers a truth buried beneath the town, about what happened, and about herself.

She thought the nightmare ended eight years ago.

She was wrong.
