    In the quiet, historical city of Newford, a brutal murder shatters the peace. But Chief of Detectives Miles Corbin quickly finds this is no ordinary crime. An ancient, unsettling symbol-a faint dragon etched into a victim's wall-whispers of a past long buried. Meanwhile, across the city, Chief Officer Alex Miller is drawn to an old, secluded estate where methodical digging has disturbed the earth, unearthing a mysterious locket bearing a chillingly similar design. As their separate investigations pull them into a web of forgotten claims and hidden histories, Miles and Alex discover their cases are terrifyingly intertwined. Someone is willing to kill to keep an inconvenient truth about Newford's very foundations from seeing the light. But what if the past they're chasing isn't just history, but a living echo, reaching out for them with deadly intent? And what if the deepest secrets lie closer than they could ever imagine? 🚨 BREAKING: TOP 100 HIT! 🏆 This high-stakes, fast-paced Detective/Urban Fantasy is currently trending! 🥇 HIGHEST RANKS: #5 in Foundations (out of 1.86K) #91 in Detectives (out of 34.8K!) #4 in AncientHistory #1 in Pacing #83 in Police (out of 22K!) #3 in Ransom (12/11/2025) (For all the graphics used in the book, the credit goes to the rightful owners)

    Are dolls innocent figurines as the advertisements on television say? Or is there something sinister that lurks inside of them? As the last heir of a mysterious curse, Janneth Hudson has her hands full. For generations, a doll has been watching over the Hudson family without their knowledge. It was waiting for the right time to punish all who have done her wrong. After her mother passes away, Janneth is tormented with a new doll named Piper to the point of insanity. She is desperate to end the vengeance of Piper, as it took the lives of innocent people with her. But Janneth couldn't do this alone. No matter if Piper had to be sacrificed under a burning bonfire under a witch's chant, or if Janneth had to involve her psychologist, his secretary, and her social worker in the process, she'd do it. She wanted to prove that she isn't insane as many believed. The cover was created by the amazing @feralshadow #1 in Horror and Paranormal = 9/20/2021

    Thornfield Academy has always been known as a prestigious school where students prepare for Ivy League colleges. It exudes an aura of perfection and smooth operation.
