Cherry Brooke is gripped by fear. The South Side Killer is stalking the city, leaving a trail of victims in his wake. But Detective Wolfe can't let the gruesome case consume him entirely. A year ago, a woman was found murdered in Refleski Park, her eyes missing. Now, another victim has been discovered, bearing the same horrifying signature.
As Wolfe digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling pattern: a series of murders spanning decades, each marked by the ritualistic removal of the victim's eyes. The only clue connecting the killings is a mysterious symbol branded on the victims' bodies.
Driven by guilt and a thirst for justice, Wolfe finds himself on the trail of a killer far more sinister than he could have imagined. His pursuit leads him to William Acerieas, a man consumed by his family's dark legacy and a twisted obsession with an ancient book.
Wolfe's investigation plunges him into a world of ancient rituals, terrifying secrets, and a horrifying truth that will shatter everything he believes. But can he uncover the truth behind the Women Without Eyes before another life is claimed?
