The rain began Thursday morning and by midnight the monsters came out of the storm-crawling into the light to slaughter every human they can find. For the next three days, men, women and children alike will fight the flood and the horrors hiding inside it. A team of doctors and nurses fighting to heal and protect a dying town. A terrified young woman, separated from her daughter, with the sudden supernatural ability to detect truth and lies-and madness. Teachers and parents trapped in a public school that is slowly being destroyed by the flood-and the monsters all around them. A dangerous man who runs into the storm on a mysterious mission that will change-and possibly end-the lives of some of the survivors. Who will live? Who will die? And who will finally learn the Secrets of the Storm?
