Synopsis

On her aunt’s sprawling ranch, a young woman with unusual sensitivities unearthed a crate, its wood weathered and ancient. The family gathered around as they pried it open, and within, they found the preserved head of Gideon Drew. A devotee of dark arts in the 16th century, he had met his end at the hands of Sir Francis Drake, beheaded for his blasphemous beliefs. And yet, impossibly, the head was not merely a relic of the past; it was alive.
