It’s been a rough summer for young Sam Turner. For weeks, it seems, he’s been burdened with one tribulation after another: his family labeling him an “Uncle Tom,” the loss of his girlfriend, the strained relationship between his two best friends, the reality of racism…and yet none of these trials compare to the living nightmare that he’s stumbled into this time. Deep beneath the land that supports Nightfire, Texas, rests the deadliest secret of the unequivocally haunted Alexas Mansion. This secret is more terrible than any of the many malevolent ghosts that walk the mansion’s halls at night, more terrible than anything Sam has ever known, for no mortal soul has ever survived long enough to tell the tale, once having entered the Mines of Sangra Dios.
