The murder was supposed to be a warning to me⏤Submit to fate or else! But when the killer threatens my family, I realize that fate is just a game and I'm more than willing to play."

I was just doing what I could to take care of mom. Then my dog leads me to a dead body in the woods, and I unearth an eerie connection to a bedtime story me mom used to tell me. I can't rest until I find answers.

The police keep telling me to leave well enough alone, but that's not going to happen. Not when the safety of my family is at stake.

My friends won't let me do this alone. I'm so thankful for them. A whimsical, silver-haired librarian, a skeptical boyfriend, and an eagle-eyed bestie; they follow me down a rabbit hole of age-old myths and haunting dreams that send us on a fateful race to prevent the next murder.

It turns out destiny has an oddly familiar face. Pulling the loose threads take us full circle to discover all the answers tie right back to me.

As sure as fate, if we make it out of this alive, none of us will ever be the same again.
