The second book in the series. It is five years later and once again the survival of the people of Ben's Valley is threatened. This time the threat comes from three fronts. An old enemy, a new global leader of the Perfects, and an evil that has been reborn.

Jacob holds the hunting knife ready to plunge it deep. He can hear murmurings from deep inside the cave. He peers around the edge of the opening and sees that the cave goes deep into the cliff. The cave is dark but he can see a tiny speck of light reflecting against the back wall.
 

He enters the cave, and pressing his back against the wall, he slowly, carefully, makes his way toward the light. The cave is damp and chilly; it has the odor of death.
 

About a hundred feet from the back wall, Jacob pauses; he can hear a voice softly whispering. He can’t make out the words but the tone is dripping sweetly. The sound makes his stomach turn and the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.
 

Jacob's heart is pounding loudly in his chest. He knows this, somewhere in his mind he knows what he will find, but he can’t retrieve the memory, it dances out of reach each time his brain tries to grasp it. After several seconds, Jacob continues to move toward the back of the cave, his fear a cold hand around his heart.
 

The voice continues to coo from the hidden room at the back of the cave.
 

There is a loud half groan, half scream that echoes off the cave walls and causes Jacob to run. His hand, which holds the knife, trembles in a mixture of fear and anticipation of the act he will soon call upon it to do.
 

The back of the cave curves around into a small, enclosed nook about ten feet in diameter. Jacob races around the wall and into the nook where a horrible and terrifying sight assaults his eyes.
 

Logan Anderson stands before him completely naked, and one hand behind his back. A wide slash, which runs from just above the pubic bone to the center of the ribcage, has allowed everything that had been inside him to spill from his body where it hangs in a mass of large coiled ropes and thick gelatos organ tissue. Behind his ribcage, Jacob can see the beating of what should have been a heart. Instead, it is a diseased looking sack of green puss.
 

Behind Logan are hundreds of bodies, they have been stacked several feet high and several rows deep. The bodies are of men, women, and children. To Logan's left a large tapestry covers the wall. The tapestry depicts the abominable acts that Logan has committed.
 

Logan looks at Jacob with the eyes of a soulless abomination and says, "Hello Daddy, You want to play?"

 
 



Excerpt

"Dear Michael,
Although by now you will know who I am, I will introduce my self anyway. I am Mike Bishop, and this is not a journal of my life, which you will discover as you read the words I have written on these pages. Instead, I thought that you would benefit more from an understanding of me that the memories no matter how informative cannot give you. In granting you insight into my motives and personal being I hope it will help you to discover who you are apart from me and the memories of a life you never lived but are cursed to be tied to.
I will tell you more than any other person has ever known about me. Since you hold all my memories, or in the case that they have not all returned yet, you soon will hold them, you also know all of the secrets that my heart held and never told. I will leave it to your discretion to reveal or keep those secrets. However, I feel that there is one thing that is so important that I must say it before I can continue; you Michael are not me. You have my memories, you were created from the essence of my being, but you are not me. You are an individual unto yourself. You have choices, and it is not my desire that you make those choices based solely on the memories of the life that I lived. Michael in many ways you are my son that is how I have come to think of you. I want you to establish yourself and find your own place in life; I do not want you to have to be an image, feeling as though you are destined to move down an old path. Make your own. It is my hope that as you begin to live you will create a person who has memories so strong that the ones I have passed on to you will seem like dreams."
