DEAD RIVER

A dark, romantic thriller about pasts that won’t leave us behind and questions that never should have been answered.

Kiandra is on a rafting excursion with her best friend and boyfriend trying to conquer the phobia of water that has plagued her since the day she watched her mother walk into a river and never come out. The trip excites and terrifies Kiandra, but she is determined to put the past behind her at last. What she doesn’t know is that her mother never died. When she entered the river that day, she became the Keeper of the waterways, ruling them and the souls of all people lost to them. Kiandra and her mother are about to be reunited. Torn between real life and the world her mother rules, she is also pulled in both directions by her boyfriend and the mysterious man from her childhood who lives below the river. Cyn Balog is also the author of three paranormal novels, Fairy Tale, Sleepless, and Starstruck. Her next book, TOUCHED, a mystery thriller, will be published by Delacorte in August 2012. Foreign rights to TOUCHED are also available.
