The Blackwood Signal

When Marcus Webb found the glowing artifact buried beneath an ancient oak in Blackwood Forest he thought it might bring him peace after his messy divorce. Instead it gave him the power to control plant life—and turned him into a killer. Now Detective Sophia Reyes is hunting him through the dense woods following a trail of impossible botanical evidence and a ranger's gruesome death. As Marcus takes refuge at the rundown Hideout Motel the alien device begins changing him in ways he never imagined. The artifact has a purpose and Marcus is just the beginning. Some discoveries are too dangerous to survive. Some powers come with a price that destroys everything you touch.
