Violet and her sister Azalea have been on the run for most of their life, followed by dark and mysterious forces that killed their parents and forced them to move from place to place, always looking over their shoulder. Sofia Delaney just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Or, from her point of view, at the wrong place at the wrong time. But... there is something unusual about their new town and their inhabitants. Something that could either turn out helpful, or... destroy them. - "I would like to say we usually didn't use these kinds of methods, but honestly, that would be a lie. It was the 21st century, and two children on their own couldn't hide for very long. In the past, someone would have called CPS on us in a blink of an eye. Now... well, we were almost 18, which meant we wouldn't attract much attention even if we were to stop hijacking other people's families. We could get our own place, perhaps even a job, but when I'd mentioned that to Azalea, her response was; 'I want to finish high school.' So, here we were, with another grownup who we'd met about a week ago and who thought we were her relatives. How fun." -

For siblings Alex and Maya, it was supposed to be a simple road trip to their grandparents' house-one last taste of freedom for Alex before university, one last boring car ride for Maya. But when their car dies on a lonely, forgotten B-road with no phone signal, their journey takes a terrifying detour. Their only hope is a quaint village on an old wooden sign: Havenwood. At first, it seems like a miracle-a picture-perfect town of cobblestone streets and friendly, welcoming locals, a peaceful haven untouched by the modern world. But the perfection is a mask. The welcome is a little too wide, the smiles a little too fixed. And the entire valley is shrouded in an unnatural, deathly silence. Their attempts to leave are futile. Every road out of Havenwood mysteriously loops back to the town square, a disorienting, impossible trap. With no way to contact the outside world, a chilling realization dawns: their breakdown wasn't an accident, it was an invitation. The townspeople are not hosts; they are keepers. And they have a simple, terrifying message: once you arrive in Havenwood, you are welcome to stay. Forever. The true horror of Havenwood isn't its roads, but its insidious influence. The town has a way of making you forget-your home, your memories, the person you used to be. As Alex finds himself seduced by the town's placid, stress-free existence, his own identity beginning to fray, it falls to Maya to be the anchor for their past. She must fight against a creeping mental fog that threatens to erase them completely and turn them into another pair of smiling, empty-eyed residents. To escape, they must uncover the ancient secret at the heart of the town's idyllic facade. But how do you escape a prison that convinces you it's a paradise? And if they manage to break free, what parts of themselves will they be forced to leave behind?
