The town of Pecan Gap has all the picturesque qualities of small-town life: horse-drawn carriages, tours of haunted hotels, and a monument seemingly built overnight. Carved from stone that’s darker than night and etched with strange names, it seems to loom over the minds and lives of those living in its shadow, haunting their waking days and dreaming nights with the shades of the dead. Slowly but surely, the stone weaves its intent, drawing everyone who dares to resist its pull into a final confrontation, a battle to be remembered, a cause of death. And all causes need a general. As the town fights for survival, their citizens the only line of defense, the people of Pecan Gap realize their defenders may not be up to the task. After all, how do you win a battle that never happened?
