Dan Torrance, haunted by his traumatic past at the Overlook Hotel, now comforts the dying at a nursing home using his remnant psychic powers. But his solace is shattered when he meets Abra, a young girl with an exceptionally powerful 'shining' gift. Abra's gift has drawn the attention of the True Knot, a tribe of quasi-immortal RV-dwelling psychics who feed on the 'steam' of tortured children. Dan must confront his own demons to save Abra from their murderous clutches. This thrilling supernatural sequel to The Shining pits a tormented hero against a nightmarish cult in a high-stakes battle for a child's soul.
