Twenty-five-year-old ritual abuse survivor, Melantha Eastman, is a forensic psychologist for the FBI. Snarky, powerful, and willing to put men in their places, Melantha is one of the best profilers despite her young age. She’s brought in by the sheriff of Montrose, a suburb just north of LA, to catch The Pedagogue, the leader of a cult of serial killers preying on young women with mental health issues that they find, lure, and stalk by use of hashtags on Instagram.
When Jesse Silver comes home to find his wife, Katia, slaughtered on their living room floor, Eastman rushes to the scene. She immediately senses the spirit of Katia who leads Eastman to a symbol on the door--a sigil that’s the mark of the cult responsible for her death. Obsessed with taking the cult down, she secretly enlists Silver as her co-conspirator, as he’s the only person whose passion matches hers. Silver commits murders of the cult members at Eastman’s command. But what he doesn’t understand is that he’s under Eastman’s spell, and that her powers are not that of your everyday forensic psychologist.
When The Pedagogue kidnaps Orchid, a 19-year-old girl from Indiana, Eastman and Silver must race to not only save her from her death--but from The Pedagogue’s ascendance to something far greater than a cult leader.
