In a remote village where silence masks collective guilt, seventeen-year-old Nyina tends a graveyard that has always felt wrong beneath her boots. The earth hums. The rain exposes bones that grin. And the crops—if they can still be called that—grow in the shape of the dead.

When strange stalks begin sprouting from an unmarked mass grave, Nyina is drawn into a history no one will speak of. Visions, whispers, and unearthed relics reveal a brutal legacy buried deeper than she ever imagined. As the village children fall ill and the ground begins to "remember," Nyina realizes the graveyard isn't haunted by ghosts—it's held together by a pact. One her bloodline helped forge. One that was waiting for her.

Every answer she finds raises a more terrifying question. Every step closer to the truth sinks her deeper into the past's open grave. And some roots, once disturbed, will not let go.

How do you make peace with the land—when the land knows what you did?
