Within a legacy of secrets and shadows, even family can't be trusted.
The Brannons are as infamous as they are reclusive—descendants of the town’s founders, and keepers of more than one buried truth. So when Claire Brannon, the driven, eldest daughter and a high-profile attorney, is found dead from an apparent suicide, her estranged sister Kenzi rushes home—certain something doesn’t add up.
Still scarred by their complicated past, Kenzi is thrust into the role of guardian to Claire’s moody, secretive teen daughter, Ember, who insists the family’s abandoned mansion holds answers—and dangers. As strange events unfold and whispers of the past surface, Kenzi and Ember begin to wonder: Did Claire truly take her own life? Or was she silenced to protect a deeper, darker truth?
With the help of determined detective Graham Felton, Kenzi and Ember begin to unravel the Brannon family's twisted legacy—a hidden history of obsession, betrayal, and violence. But the closer they get to uncovering what really happened, the more they risk becoming the next chapter in a story soaked in blood.
A gothic-tinged psychological thriller filled with atmospheric suspense and emotional depth, this chilling tale of sisterhood, secrets, and survival is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Jennifer McMahon, and Riley Sager.
Some houses don't forget. Some secrets don't forgive.
