When peace is only a mask, the past claws its way back.

In the sleepy mountain town of Oak Haven, two decades of quiet have buried the horrors of a forgotten cult and the boy who led it. But when fifteen-year-old Lillian stumbles upon a haunted relic in the heart of the woods, the light within her awakens-drawing the attention of an ancient evil once sealed away.

Now marked by powers she never asked for and secrets her parents swore to keep hidden, Lillian must confront the terrifying legacy of Tommy Obsidian and a godlike force that feeds on fear. As the shadows stir and old scars begin to burn, the battle between darkness and light is no longer over-it's only just begun.

A chilling supernatural thriller about buried truths, inherited power, and the fight for a future that refuses to be consumed by the past.
