The nurse wrote "terminal agitation" in the chart. It was the truest thing anyone with a clipboard would ever say about that room - and it was not true at all. Harold Vance is dying. To everyone watching, it's an ordinary end: an old man plucking at his blanket, his eyes fixed on a far corner where there is nothing but a chair and a shadow. But the corner is not empty. And the thing the living cannot see has been waiting a very long time.
Beyond the edge of the deathbed lies a place older than memory and closer than breath - where the choices of a life are finally laid bare, where mercy and judgment are no longer abstractions, and where one cry still echoes across an unbridgeable distance: Have mercy on me, for I am in agony. The Cave is a supernatural novel about the moment we all must face, the unseen war fought over every soul at its threshold, and the mercy still reaching into the dark for anyone willing to turn toward the light.
An Unseen Truth novel.
