The story revolves around travel journalist and mountaineer Nick Grevers, who awakens from a coma to find that his climbing buddy, Augustin, is missing and presumed dead. Nick's own injuries are as extensive as they are horrifying, with his face wrapped in bandages and unable to speak. Despite claiming amnesia, he remembers everything. He recalls the mysterious allure of the Maudit, a remote and scarcely documented peak in the Swiss Alps, where he and Augustin were drawn. He remembers an ominous sense of being not alone, as if something was waiting for them.

Sam Avery, Nick's friend and fellow mountaineer, wants to be glad that Nick is alive and coming home. However, the accident has stirred up memories that Sam thought were long buried. Soon, he realizes that it isn't just the trauma of the accident that haunts Nick. Something has awakened inside of him, something that endangers the lives of everyone around him.

Martin, another renowned author, compares it to vintage Stephen King, while John Connolly, another acclaimed writer, predicts it as the next genre superstar.

With its haunting prose, intricate plot, and memorable characters, Echo is a must-read for fans of supernatural horror and adventure. Prepare to be transported to a world where the line between reality and the supernatural is blurred, and where danger lurks around every corner.
