Slabside is a dying town with one unspoken rule: stay out of the woods.
Leland Danvers never planned to break it. Emancipated at sixteen and barely holding his life together, survival is already hard enough without chasing whispered legends about monsters and a lost city hidden beyond the trees.
Then his best friend's grandfather is murdered-his final warning pointing toward the forest everyone's afraid to name.
Joined by Kilo, his brilliant, Harvard-bound best friend, and Sarah Caffari, a girl desperate to escape the ghosts of her own past, Leland ventures into the wilderness searching for answers. What they find is far worse than folklore: creatures that mimic human voices, ancient symbols burned into the land, and a hidden gateway leading to a city built on hunger, betrayal, and survival at any cost.
As the truth surfaces, the lines between monster and man begin to blur. Old factions resurface. War looms. And the further Leland goes, the more he realizes that every choice demands a price he may not be able to afford.
Slabside Saviors is a gripping YA supernatural thriller about friendship, moral choice, and the terrifying cost of survival.
