When Ivy fled to the remote forests of Colorado, she only wanted safety for her son Jasper—a baby born with eerie sensitivities and haunted dreams. But the veil between this world and the next is thin in these woods, and something ancient has begun to stir. Guided by Rainy, a Native elder with deep spiritual wisdom, Ivy uncovers secrets buried beneath the soil: a spirit tethered to a pendant, a child's lost shoe, and the whisper of a name too dangerous to speak.

As unseen forces press closer, Ivy must protect Jasper from a dark entity drawn to his light—one that feeds on grief, memory, and the ashes of forgotten souls. But sealing one door may open another, and what waits beyond the veil may not want to stay there.

This twelfth installment in Karen Allen's Haunted Found Treasures series is a chilling exploration of psychic bonds, inherited burdens, and the quiet strength of a mother's love.
