Eleanor Mason never wanted to return to Blackwood Hollow. The isolated town, suffocated by endless mist and haunted by whispered legends, was a place of nightmares. But when her sister, Lillian, vanishes without a trace, Eleanor is forced back to the place that stole her childhood. What she finds is impossible. The house where Lillian was last seen moves when she isn’t looking. The woods shift and twist, trapping her in paths that shouldn’t exist. And the shadows—tall, faceless figures lurking at the edge of her vision—are watching her. Then she finds the journal. Lillian’s final writings speak of something buried deep in Blackwood Hollow’s past. A presence older than the town itself. A force that marks its chosen, drawing them into the darkness. Eleanor was never meant to leave the Hollow. Now she must uncover the truth before the Watchers come for her too. Because once you’re marked… the Hollow never lets you go.
