[Available on Amazon Kindle] Deep in the woods behind La Trinidad stands a moss-covered well-forgotten by most, feared by a few. The urban legend claims it grants a wish every leap year, at exactly 23:11.
Michelle Dayanan knows the story, just like everyone else-half as a joke, half as a warning. But when the relentless cruelty of the privileged students pushes her to the edge, she dares to make a wish for the one thing she's never had: a sense of belonging.
Then, her classmates begin to die-mysterious, violent deaths, with no connection except for her. As the deaths mount, Michelle realizes the well didn't just grant her wish-it took something far more precious in return. As her dream spirals into a waking nightmare, Michelle must confront the true cost of her wish, and the monstrous thing that never stopped listening.
Because the well doesn't just grant wishes---it feeds on them, and now it's hungry for more.
