"I promised him he was safe, that he would always be safe with me. I didn't know it then, but I'd already failed my son."
Holly is a loving and devoted mother. She lives and breathes for her son. Her entire world revolves around keeping the boy safe…
August is a sweet, innocent child. All he’s ever known is comfort and security. He adores his mother and loves his friends…
But when he loses his first tooth, reaching a milestone most families celebrate, everything changes.
August doesn’t understand why his mother is so afraid, and Holly can’t tell her son the truth. The bond between mother and child is unbreakable, yet the life they’ve built together teeters on the edge of a very thin blade.
In the end, will Holly be able to save her precious son? Or will she lose him to the darkness from which he came?
