THE UNBROKEN LINE

BENEATH THE PECAN TREES Years after defeating two archdemons in WWII, exorcist Carla Jill LaOpal thought she'd left the battlefield behind. But when the FBI summons her to Mississippi's notorious Parchman Prison, she faces a horror that dwarfs anything she encountered in the war. Harold Frazier—a soft-spoken groundskeeper with a pecan plantation—has confessed to murdering 104 people over thirty years. And he claims a demon named Andras has been with him the entire time. But Andras isn't just any demon. He's a master of discord who knows how to weaponize truth itself. As Carla Jill assembles an unlikely team—a Vodou queen, a Persian mystic who lectures demons into submission, a Choctaw spiritual warrior, and a haunted Catholic priest—the exorcism becomes a psychological siege. Andras knows their secrets. Their wounds. Their breaking points. He knows about Father Webb's murdered protégé. About Rosalie, the cousin Carla Jill has searched for since 1923. And he's willing to use every painful truth as a blade. In a chapel at America's most brutal prison, six people will face a demon who understands that sometimes the cruelest weapon isn't a lie—it's the truth you've been running from your entire life. Not everyone will survive what comes next. And victory may be the most dangerous outcome of all. A Southern Gothic horror about the price of fighting evil when evil knows exactly how to break you.
