The Light That Should Not Be

A lighthouse stands lit and running in the heart of the Arizona desert, hundreds of miles from any ocean. When Ethan Blackwell, Mara Whitlock, and Daniel Cross spot its beam glowing across the dunes from tens of miles away, curiosity pulls them toward a structure that should not exist. What they find inside will test everything they believe about the desert, the dark, and what waits behind old glass.
