TWO SISTERS SOUGHT TO RESURRECT AN ANCIENT EVIL.
ONLY ONE SURVIVED.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER—grieving her mother's death and burdened by a terrible guilt, Raewyn Winters flees to the quiet village of Cranston Myre, seeking refuge on the edge of Dolen Forest. She needs solitude—a place to hide from the darkness that stalks her dreams and sets her blood on fire.
But the forest harbours secrets of its own.
And the forest remembers.
When Rae meets John, the brooding gardener from the Gothic mansion on the hill, she begins to suspect that her arrival in Cranston Myre was no coincidence. John bears the same strange birthmark as Rae—and it soon becomes clear their connection runs deeper than either of them understands. But as Rae digs deeper, and the boundary between past and present begins to blur, she uncovers a truth more terrifying than she ever imagined: a legacy of sacrifice, betrayal, and ancient magic woven into the threads of time.
To survive the shadows gathering in Dolen Forest, Rae must finally confront the truth of who she is—or lose everyone she cares about to a destiny written in blood.
