A family name, a prophecy, and a lingering curse

Set in the Fear family’s past, this second novel in a horror trilogy centers on Simon Fier and a warning that his family will die in a terrible fire. His attempt to escape the prediction by changing the family name to Fear becomes part of the story’s account of how the family’s curse began and why its evil continues. The premise ties a family’s history to an ominous prophecy, making the name itself a link between the feared future and the legacy that follows.
