When Millie Blake was ten , her world was shattered by the sudden death of her parents. Forced to leave behind the sleepy town of Oakadown, she moved to the city to live with her aunt, burying her memories of the small, eerie town she once called home.

But Millie isn't just seeking solace or closure. She's running from something, something dark and dangerous, and Oakadown feels like the only place she can hide.
