Deputies Blaise Jeremiah (BJ) DeLarue and Tom Ivey, combat Marines, find a bloody scene in the remote cabin of a recluse, Charles Duffman, a veteran with severe PTSD—the son of a local hooker, Charles grew up hard in Texas where he never fit in but could never leave.

Using their Native American heritage, Blaise and Tom identify the deceased men by their tattoos, realizing that Charles is not among them. Unbeknownst to Blaise, Tom is his fraternal twin.

Tom knew what the ritualistic scene meant—it was the harbinger of the prophecy of evil invading the earth dimension. He is not sure how, but Tom knows his sister is involved—and is aware of a prophecy tied to an ancient evil, Anaye.

They must win the battle for the souls at the time of the Rising when the Protector ascended.
