Raising Cain

Deep in the woods that slide off into Stone Creek Swamp, teenage drug dealers retrieve their stash and receive an unexpected dividend—the unwitting resurrection of Cain, powerful Bokor of Black Magic.  Atop Coleman Hill, two young attorneys renovate a decrepit relic of a house in Macon, Georgia for their home and office.  A house with a past it wants to share, showing Ria Knight tantalizing scenes of its original owner, Dr. Paul Devlin.  Dr. Devlin's not exactly alive and well, but he's not dead either.

With Cain's resurrection, the battle between the two first begun in 1888 rages again.  Because the past, like evil, never dies.  It just—waits.
