Whispers of shadows
On the eve of her 19th birthday, Ivy is set to inherit a family heirloom shrouded in mystery and dread - a leather-bound book, that her mother and grandmother forbade her to touch. With a legacy built on superstition and the peculiar rituals of her lineage, Ivy finds herself caught between skepticism and an unquenchable curiosity. As she prepares for the sacred ceremony to claim her inheritance, strange occurrences unfold on her family's land, leading her to the unsettling discovery of two dead deer at a broken boundary. When her mother reveals the dark significance of this omen, Ivy is thrust into a world where spirits might be real, and the trappings of her family's past threaten to ensnare her in a web of ancient curses and sinister secrets. Now, as the veil between the known and the unknown begins to unravel, Ivy must confront the horrors concealed within the book and the fate that awaits her as the next Maiden in a lineage steeped in mystery. Will she uncover the truth before it's too late, or will the shadows of her ancestors consume her?

An introverted "nerd" in a school full of social butterflies, she's learned to embrace her quirks and keep to herself. At her size, she's used to being overlooked and judged for being obese, but she's determined not to let it define her.

One night, while walking home through the forest, Allison is bitten by a mysterious wolf. The pain of the bite is just the beginning. Soon, she discovers that the wolf wasn't just any animal-it was a werewolf. As the full moon rises, she finds herself struggling to control new, dangerous instincts and powers, and her world is forever altered.
