Deciduous by Michael Devendorf

Sienna Clarke knows the pain of unspeakable tragedy. Ten months ago, she lost her teenage daughter Kira in a horrible accident at home. Now, as Sienna is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered world, the unthinkable happens again when her 12-year-old son dies just as tragically.


Both children died in or near the treehouse in her backyard, and Sienna believes meditating in it will help her to better connect with them. But Sienna’s meditation reveals a dark and deeply disturbing look into her subconscious. She envisions a giant maple she once admired while exploring the acres of land behind her family’s home. The tree, however, is no longer the awe-inspiring sight she remembers. In Sienna’s vision, the leaves turn an electric blue, transforming into cadaverous hands which attack her children.


Sienna is terrified by the vision and begins to worry that Kira and Kai’s deaths were not just tragic coincidences, but something more sinister. Insidious thoughts begin to invade her mind as those around her begin to wonder if Sienna had anything to do with the death of her children. As suspicions mount, Sienna must find the truth behind the deaths of Kira and Kai, before her mind turns against her.


A gripping psychological suspense, Devendorf keeps you on the edge of your seat as secrets of Sienna’s past unfold. Deciduous will have you desperately turning pages in the search for Sienna’s truth—a captivating and powerful read.
