In the tumultuous Fall of 1969, Aubrey Blackwood's carefully constructed future crumbles with a single phone call from the past.
Fresh from nursing school with New York City beckoning, Aubrey's plans dissolve when her grandmother's desperate plea summons her back to Hollow Wind-the remote farmhouse where childhood innocence withered after her parents' tragic deaths. Banished to boarding school at twelve, Aubrey had locked away memories of the ancient estate with its whispering corridors and shifting shadows.
Now, returning to care for her ailing grandfather, Aubrey finds more than familial obligation awaiting her. Her cousin Vanessa has vanished without trace, and questions about her disappearance are met with chilling silence. As twilight descends, the old house awakens-floorboards creak with phantom footsteps, voices echo through empty rooms, and something unseen watches from darkened corners.
Night after night, she is held a prisoner of fear, from macabre visions to the nearly-fatal accidents that befall her-each one deepening her terror of the secrecy, the unknown, and the inexplicable hostility from her own family.. Beneath Hollow Wind's decaying grandeur lurks a malevolent secret, festering for generations. As Aubrey unravels the twisted threads of her family's past, she realizes the most terrifying truth of all-the darkness consuming Hollow Wind now hungers for her.
Some family legacies are better left buried.
