Elena Reese sees a mysterious man with a chilling, perfect smile in the rain. Strange letters follow, then whispers in mirrors, and the man reveals a doorway to something beyond human understanding. With the help of Harper, Elena refuses him, closing the door. But even after his disappearance, his presence lingers like a stain on her soul. The forest’s silence shifts, the crow smiles, and the tapping on the wall returns. Elena realizes the smile isn’t something you see and escape. It’s something that waits inside you. She closes her eyes. She smiles. And the Devil smiles back.
