Ophelia Ravenswood has never been afraid of the dark... Until now. After her estranged father commits a gruesome suicide, the orphan returns to her childhood home to stay with her Uncle who lives deep in the woodlands of Woebrooke Grove. Ophelia expects to meet the lush forest, beautiful mansion, and friendly faces of her family. However, what she doesn't expect is the rot and decay that's consumed the land, and the mysterious veil that surrounds Foster Ravenswood - her enigmatic cousin with a dark secret. Although Ophelia has never met Foster before, she soon becomes suspicious of his strange behavior and cryptic intentions... For there might be more to him than meets the eye. With her life growing stranger by the day, Ophelia begins to suspect that something far more sinister is going on... There is something wrong in Woebrooke Grove... But when her sanity comes into question, Ophelia struggles to cope as she slowly descends into a neverending spiral of madness and paranoia - losing her grip on reality, and yet determined to unearth her family secrets and the skeletons hidden away within Foster's closet. However, what she may discover, is that some secrets... are better left untold.
