Born To Die by anarobson60

Nova Kane has always lived in the shadow of something she couldn't explain - a chill that never leaves, eyes she feels watching, dreams soaked in screams and shadow. After a lifetime of restless nights and feeling like a stranger in her own skin, Nova's world unravels when she discovers she was adopted. Her search for answers leads her to the forgotten town of Ashwood Hollow - a place swallowed by tragedy, where a string of brutal murders twenty-five years ago still haunts every cracked sidewalk and boarded-up window. The killer, known only as The Hollow Man, was never caught. As Nova digs deeper, she uncovers whispers that tie her own bloodline to the killer's legacy - and to the night the murders stopped. Her face triggers memories in townsfolk who won't speak. Her dreams bleed into waking life. And something is waiting for her in the woods... watching. But the deeper she goes, the more she realizes: this darkness isn't new - it's coming home. Now, Nova must confront the horror rooted in her past to survive what's coming.
