In the small, forgotten town of Briarwood, shadows move in the mist, and secrets lie buried beneath the cobbled streets. Dr. Catherine Harper thought she left it all behind, the whispered warnings, the chilling stories, the haunting pull of her ancestral home.

But when she returns to settle old family affairs, the Harper house, long abandoned and feared, calls to her once again.

As she crosses the threshold of the decaying manor, strange happenings begin to unfold. Cats gather at the edge of the overgrown garden, their eyes gleaming with an unsettling intelligence, and the whispers of the past grow louder.

But it is the land itself, the ancient, hungry force beneath her feet, demanding blood.

Catherine is the last in a cursed bloodline bound to the very soil, and it is her time to face what generations before her could not.

With the help of a mysterious black cat, Catherine unravels her grandmother’s cryptic journal, uncovering a dark legacy threatening to consume her. The roots of the Harper family run deep, tangled in a pact with something far older than the town itself.

As eerie figures from the past begin to emerge, Catherine must decide, how much is she willing to sacrifice to sever the ties binding her family to the land? And will the land ever truly let her go?

In this gripping tale of suspense and supernatural mystery, Catherine must battle the creeping darkness or risk losing herself, and everyone she loves, to the hunger beneath Briarwood.
