She survived, barely. The only person who remembers what she lost is Martin-her lover across lifetimes, the one constant in centuries she can no longer recall. Together, they've begun piecing her life back together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the witch who destroyed Twila has returned to finish what she started.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Twila and Martin inherit an estate steeped in secrets-ancient archives, abandoned monasteries, and journals chronicling generations of moon witches-protections guarding the hollows begin to fail. Corrupted spirits rise, people begin vanishing, and Twila realizes the witch isn't just hunting her-she's rewriting history itself with blood magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Twila searches the journals for answers, she uncovers truths that shatter everything she thought she knew about her family, her power, and the woman who abandoned her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause some monsters aren't born.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey're made by the people who should have loved them most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for fans of T. Kingfisher's THE TWISTED ONES, Deborah Harkness's A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES, and Patricia Briggs's MERCY THOMPSON series-a darkly atmospheric blend of Appalachian folk horror and gothic romance where poetry becomes prophecy and love blooms in the shadow of ancient evil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is atmospheric folk horror first, with a slow-burn gothic romance woven through it. Expect genuine scares, graphic violence, and complex Appalachian mythology.
