A mother's death. A daughter's reckoning. A family's darkest hour.

After her mother's passing, Lydia Meyer returns to Marsh Hollow, the isolated estate on the Chesapeake Bay where she spent her childhood. She hasn't set foot there in over two decades—not since escaping the rigid, haunting life her mother created. But when she arrives, strange things begin to surface. A vandalized house. A hidden journal. A graveyard in the woods that haunts her dreams.

As long-buried memories rise to the surface, Lydia begins to question everything she thought she knew. What really happened to her father? Why did her sister disappear? And who is behind the force determined to keep the truth hidden?

With the help of Blossom, a mysterious woman who appears just when Lydia needs her most, she must confront the past before it consumes her. But some secrets don't stay buried—and each step toward the truth brings her closer to a danger she never saw coming.

For fans of When Crickets Cry and Where the Crawdads Sing—a gripping story of buried secrets, quiet strength, and the healing power of home.
