When 23-year-old Evelyn Hart returns home from college one evening, she expects to find her family waiting for her.
Instead, the house is empty. Her parents are gone. Her younger brother is gone.
Even the family photographs that once lined the walls have vanished.
At first, Evelyn assumes they've left unexpectedly. But as the hours pass, panic sets in.
Then she discovers something far more terrifying. Nobody remembers them. Not the neighbors.
Not the police. Not her friends.
Every record connected to her family has disappeared. Birth certificates, school records, medical files-gone. According to the town's records, Evelyn Hart has lived alone her entire life.
Desperate for answers, she begins investigating the strange town she moved to only months ago-a place that never felt quite right.
That's when she notices him. A tall man with black hair and dark eyes. Always watching. Standing across the street.
Lurking at the edge of the woods. Appearing wherever she goes.
The townspeople avoid him. Fear him. Refuse to speak about him.
Yet as Evelyn digs deeper into the mystery surrounding her family's disappearance, Adrian Blackwood becomes the only person who believes her. The only person who remembers.
But Adrian is hiding secrets of his own. Secrets about the town. Secrets about the families who vanished before hers.
And secrets about why Evelyn was never supposed to come to Ashwood in the first place.
Because her family wasn't the first to disappear. And if she doesn't uncover the truth soon, she won't be the last.
