A sin as old as time. A promise made but broken. A town that has a dark secret, the kind that causes people to lock their doors and pull down the blinds.
Evil lurks in the small mining town of Hyde Park, cloaking itself in the darkness of night, striking silently, swiftly, viciously. When it strikes Steve Benson's brother, he arrives in Hyde Park to uncover the truth of his brother's death, not believing the tale spun by the local authorities. Soon Benson learns the town has much to hide and even more to fear. ”
“Loved this book. I was very intrigued in the story line. When I realized what the dragon was I had to rethink the whole book. The parallel was amazing!”

“This review contains some spoilers. The Oath was a masterpiece in the sense of the sin metaphor and spiritual things taking physical form. When I first saw the 550-page book, my heart cowered at the thought of reading through the boring introductions to the characters. These thoughts were unnecessary, as Peretti dragged me in from the first page to the last with turns, twists and plunges. The only thing I found that bothered me was that one or two of the book's scenes was somewhat inappropriate, even though they didn't describe anything in detail.”

“This was an excellent book. I've never thought about looking at sin as a growing dragon from push-around size to where it is no longer controllable. Kept me interested from start to finish!”

“One of my favorites of Peretti's work, this book pulls you deep into the mysteries that go on in a small town, a terrible covenant - and a deadly secret. ”
