Publisher Description

Step into the chilling world of this supernatural thriller, a narrative reminiscent of timeless classics such as The Haunting of Hill House, The Woman in Black, and Bag of Bones.

Maggie, shattered by the devastating loss of a child, finds herself trapped in a suffocating routine, her job at the local daycare and everyday errands serving as painful reminders of her grief. With each passing day, she spirals deeper into the abyss of depression, unable to heal.

Jake, her devoted husband, is determined to see her find solace. Yet, despite therapy and medications, Maggie's suffering persists. Relocating seems like the perfect solution—a fresh start in a new home. Jake patiently stands by her side, offering unwavering support as she grapples with her pain.

However, as they settle into their new residence, Maggie finds an unorthodox solution to her anguish. While Jake may not believe in ghosts, he plays along, hoping it will bring his wife some semblance of peace. But what begins as a charade soon unravels into a bone-chilling reality.

They are not alone.

As the once-subtle spectral activity escalates to a violent crescendo, Jake realizes that the entity haunting their house has chosen Maggie as a surrogate mother, and it harbors no desire for a father figure. Their fresh start turns into a harrowing battleground, leaving Jake uncertain about which side his wife is truly on.

Does Jake possess the strength and determination to save them both from the malevolent force that threatens to consume their lives?

This gripping ghost thriller will captivate fans of suspense horror and paranormal mysteries.
