And when the enigmatic school outcast Eric King asks for their help in ending the horrors of the caves for good, Autumn and Rick can't resist--no matter how dangerous it might be. The teens recruit Rick's best friend, Nathaniel Abrams, and Autumn's new friend Mandy Jensen on the mission to save the town and its inhabitants. The only questions remaining are what is actually in the cave and whether they even have a chance of stopping the evil from spreading and eventually taking over.
