***UNDER EDITING***
At just 7 years old, Lennox Rosewood suffers the most tragic experience possible - losing her mother. A day of exploring the mysterious Evergreen Forest turned out to be the last time Evelyn Rosewood would ever be seen again. After 9 years of following in her mother's footsteps, Lennox, now 16, has become notorious for her adventures into the unknown around her town, until she stumbles across a manor house hidden deep within Evergreen's bounds that traps her into a trance that ends her adventurous curiosity for good. Enchanted by its alluring energy, she and her friends make the mistake of returning time and time again, only to find themselves locked into a game they are forced to play to protect themselves from unseen dark forces living within the manor's walls.
When the lives of her friends are threatened by the manor, Lennox has no choice but to try and discover the truth about the stories and legends surrounding the forest, but the supernatural energy pulling her deeper into its clutches make it impossible for her to differentiate between reality and fantasy. Amongst the riddles, visions, and voices echoing in her mind, a memory from Lennox's childhood surfaces as a dream that hints at the involvement of the manor in her mother's sudden disappearance - if a disappearance is all it was. After years of believing her mother was gone for good, Lennox is thrown into a world of puzzling mysteries that, if she can maintain her sanity, will help her discover the truth about what happened to her mother, the strange connection between the manor house and her family, and if there is a way she can protect her friends from forces she never knew could exist.

Maeve & Sloane
In the shadowed halls of Briarhaven Conservatory, one witch is missing, and another is dead-but only one of them seems to matter to everyone else. It's the spring of 2002, and twenty-year-old college students Sloane Beauvais and Maeve Hamada just want to avoid Briarhaven's suffocating magical elite and the haunted corridors of their campus. But when a friend begged for their help, the girls put aside their doubts and decide to investigate. On the surface, everything looks the same: the college students are cruel, the cafeteria food is overpriced, and the teachers don't care. But when one of Sloane's former classmates is found suspended above her dorm bed, and another vanishes without a trace, Briarhaven descends into chaos. Wealthy warlocks pull their children from class, the media swarms the school, and the truth hides beneath layers of gossip and dark magic. Haunted by guilt, Maeve and Sloane take matters into their own hands, navigating secretive cliques, cryptic rituals, and hidden alliances that could turn on them at any moment. Don't get them wrong - they couldn't care less about their former classmates or professors. But if solving the mystery means uncovering who kidnapped their friend, then so be it.Lengkap

As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness.

In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.Lengkap

Don't trust the ones who remember you."-she realizes her family's dark past is connected to the curse haunting the town.
