The dead don’t return to haunt the living. They return to collect what was taken from them.Following the terrifying events in Bellwether Falls, Mara Voss crosses an ocean to the sun-bleached, sand-choked ghost town of Kolmanskop, Namibia. Drawn by cryptic messages and the desperate promise of finding her father alive, she steps directly into a nightmare that has been waiting twenty-eight years to unfold.Every October, as Halloween approaches, the abandoned desert settlement awakens. Jack-o’-lanterns bleed black water, long-dead villagers gather for a grotesque annual feast, and a mysterious countdown begins to tick backward toward midnight. At the center of the horror lies the Ninth Door-and a terrifying secret about Mara’s own birth. To survive the desert’s mechanical traps and horrific revelations, Mara must untangle a web of shifting identities, impossible copies, and a deal forged in blood:* Was she the daughter who was saved, or the daughter who was made?* Who is the little girl in the red dress waiting behind the lock?* And what happens when the countdown reaches the human remainder?Packed with pulse-pounding atmospheric dread, sharp psychological tension, and shocking twists, THE HOLLOW SAINT: BOOK TWO: THE NINTH DOOR expands the dark mythology of the Garther publishing universe.Some doors were never meant to be opened. Some debts can never be repaid.
