Sitka’s Quay appears to be like every other coastal tourist town on Highway 101, but lurking below its southern grove of ancient spruce are three sleeping primordial gods. The Keeper, Dayla Fischer, must remain in control of her magical abilities or fall into sickening madness, but lives a relatively quiet life with her husband, Oliver, their cat and two garden gnomes.
That is, until the delusional, but charming Jonah Leifson comes to town with a plan to awaken the Three. Soon, children begin disappearing. With powerful suggestion spells and mind reading abilities, Jonah wins over other sorcerers, meth users, the police, and eventually even her husband. Though no one believes her and she doubts her own sanity, she must stop Jonah, before he wakes the Three and brings about the end of the world.

"Dayla pressed her hand upon the dry bark, remembering the feel of it when she was a child. It was her favorite place. She and other local kids used it as a fort, house, or hiding spot."
"The trail was mostly garbage-free due to the cedar-planked boardwalks, which traversed the saturated mudflats next to the lake. Skunk cabbages faded in preparation for the coming winter."
"On the beachside of the Grove, she hurried down old cedar-cribbed stairs and scanned the shoreline. Otters, stellar sea lions, and western gulls played in the water."
Her bare feet crunched over the shifting smooth granite, quartz and agates pebbles, but she crossed the beach to the seacave that held the Nexus. "
