Horror erupts when newlyweds, Karen and Jeremy, cross paths with members of a diabolical cult inside a West Virginia cave.

Their leader, a wild-eyed, cunning brute, refuses to let the couple leave, believing they and their potential offspring hold the key to surviving underground.

Excerpt:
She
desperately needed fluids, but with none available, her eyes closed and her
body grabbed the one essential it could: rest. Within seconds, she was floating
on a lake and her brother, laughing mischievously, waded over and splashed her
face. Go away or I’ll tell Mom, she told the bratty creature. Ignoring the
threat, he did it again. Something registered inside Karen’s subconscious brain
and she licked her mouth, now surprisingly wet. The miracle awakened her, and
she reached up to touch a sprinkling of drops.
Hope restored, she searched for the
welcome fissure, knowing it was nearby. She pawed with her fingers and found
the spot, opening it further, allowing a stream of precious liquid through. She
cupped her hands and drank enough to fill her dream lake, noting the taste of
recent rainwater, heavenly and normal. Encouraged by her progress, her eyes
brightened, and her mouth curved upward.
Hearing a noise—the clanging, ringing,
scraping sound of metal on metal—she rushed forward. Jeremy had mentioned
something about ladders: a series of them closer to the top. Just find the
first, he had said. While she would have loved to go all the way up, to see the
sky, she knew Randy might be heading back with the vegetables by now; might
only be a few levels above. She drummed her foot, debating with herself, looked
at her watch and blanched. There was no choice; she had to return. It was
getting late.
About to leave, she swung at the waist,
but the earth, now soaked from the wide-open fissure, had become a sloppy,
slippery mess, and her arms flailed out as her feet left the ground. She
tumbled sideways, sparing the baby but bruising a hip. While she wasn’t
seriously hurt, the suddenness of it startled her, and before she could stop
herself a scream escaped her lips, followed by a “Dammit!” It was only a quick
scream and a single word; still, it was enough.
Randy, just as Karen feared, was on his
way back, but worse than she had imagined, he was only one level above, and
having tired of singing had heard the hubbub and recognized the voice. In a
flash, it had come to him and two and two became four. Furious, he threw the
candle down the gaping hole separating the two levels.
Karen, within range of the thud, went to check. Her foot struck the
waxy object, and realizing what it was, she gulped repeatedly. She picked it up
and rolled it between her fingers, not sure how this unfortunate complication—a
mere accident, perhaps?—would affect her and Jeremy’s impending getaway. Just
how much did Randy suspect? Please God,
she silently begged, hoping for the best but fearing the worst. Let everything
be okay. She sent out a series of clicks.
Above, Randy sat, holding his head, the
picture of despair.
