She ran to the countryside to escape her past. She didn’t expect the house to have one of its own.
After a messy, very public breakup upends her life, Professor Avery Hart needs distance—and fast. Just long enough for things to settle down. Just long enough to feel safe again.
She retreats to a quiet riverside town deep in the Louisiana countryside: draped in Spanish moss, filled with watchful locals, and home to an aging manor that’s irresistible to a history lover like Avery.
What begins as a refuge from a possible stalker soon turns into something far more sinister. Avery starts to sense she isn’t alone on the property—and that the house itself is steeped in secrets darker and more dramatic than she ever imagined.
As the truth begins to surface, Avery realizes she may not be able to leave at all.
What lies buried beneath this centuries-old estate, hidden where the city lights fade?
Where City Lights Fade is a poignant, twist-filled thriller—both haunting and poetic—woven with rich character depth and mounting dread. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Stephen King, and Ruth Ware.
