But what his captors don’t know is that each time he falls down the rabbit hole, Edric’s nightmares are training him to be a killing machine. Are these hallucinations from the drugs . . . or are they something much darker?Once set on this path of revenge, Edric won’t stop until his enemies are hollow shells of blood and bone.
