Every inheritance has a price . . .
Upstate New York, 1933. When Clara Dawson inherits Hollowfield House—a remote inn owned by the father who abandoned her—she hopes to sell it quickly and escape her mounting debts. But the inn’s haunted halls hold secrets darker than she ever imagined, and something within them refuses to be forgotten.
From the moment she arrives, Clara is unnerved by eerie encounters that leave her questioning her sanity—a mysterious locket, an unsigned letter, and the apparition of a young woman bound to the inn’s tragic past. As these unsettling incidents escalate, Clara begins to suspect her father’s death was anything but ordinary.
With help from the property’s groundskeeper, Tuck, Clara’s search for answers pulls her into the tangled web of Hollowfield’s history. It quickly becomes clear that someone—or something—is determined to keep the past buried, and they will stop at nothing to silence her.
