For fans of Adam Nevill's The Ritual and Stephen Graham Jones' The Only Good IndiansFour veterans. One forgotten sin. A wilderness that never forgets.

Adirondacks, 1935. Seven years after the brutal realities of the Nicaragua campaign, four Marine veterans reunite for a weekend hunting trip in the remote New York wilderness. They seek camaraderie and a chance to escape the ghosts of their past. But when a reckless act violates the ancient sanctity of the forest, the hunters become the hunted.

As the wilderness closes in around them, horrific visions of their wartime atrocities bleed into the present. The line between nightmare and reality shatters as an ancient force awakens to exact a terrible price. One by one, the men are forced to confront a primal power that remembers every transgression, and offers no forgiveness.

To survive, they must face truths they buried long ago.

Some sins never die.

Atmospheric, haunting, and relentlessly unsettling, IT PIERCES is a chilling tale of guilt, folklore, and the darkness that violence leaves behind. In these ancient woods, no trespass goes unanswered. No sin goes unpunished.
