They thought they had survived the worst. They were wrong. The true danger was only just beginning. Six years ago, a lethal avalanche tore through the passes of Mount Logan, sweeping away the titans of the powerful Nella dynasty. From the crushing weight of the snow, only two children emerged: Malya and Bryces. Two heirs, torn apart and raised in the shadows, far from prying eyes. Now reunited in Black Hollow - a town where every sound is muffled, every shadow too long, and the silence far too heavy to be innocent - they struggle to piece together the shards of their broken lives. But nothing is simple when the world watches you like a macabre curiosity, when your name precedes you like a curse, and when dormant abilities - powers no one should possess - tether you to something ancient and obsidian. Malya hungers for oblivion, for the simple grace of a normal life. But some traumas refuse to fade, and some truths will not stay buried. As unsettling events unravel and nameless faces turn predatory, one question remains: what if the avalanche was never an accident? Mature content, not for -18
