â€œClever, fast paced... an effectively chilling movie-in-the-mindâ€ â€“ New York Times

â€œTessier is one of horror fictionâ€™s best kept secrets.â€ â€“ The Washington Post

To some, the lights were beautiful â€¦ to others, they were a warning.

When Martin Lasker first sees the mutilated cow on Bondarevskyâ€™s farm, he wonders what on earth could have caused it. But as more and more disasters occur and strange lights start to appear in the quiet town of Millville, Lasker is drawn into the mystery.

Now, he is convinced something larger must be happening.

To the small-town citizens of Millville, the lights all mean something different.

To Marge Calder they are neon lights. To Joe Garfield, they are a warning. To the Pomar children, they are a miracle, Our Lady returned. To Father Lombardy, they are evil made manifest. To Studevant, the Police Chief, they are mindless destruction.

For Lasker, the most important questions are: where these lights could come from, and what could they mean?

But the answers to these questions may be more painful than anyone expectedâ€¦
In this thrilling scifi-horror novel, Millville and its citizens are subject to a destructive force that will uproot the very core of the town. With The Fates, Tessier brings together mystery, science, and horror in this twisting tale that will chill you to your core.
