In the mist-veiled village of Elderglen, ancient legends warn of a cursed creature that roams the forest on full moon nights-its sorrowful howl chilling the bones of all who hear it. For Maeve Briar, those howls are more than superstition. They are a call from the past.
Twelve years ago, Maeve's father vanished without a trace on a moonlit night, leaving behind only a torn cloak and unanswered questions. Now seventeen, Maeve dares to enter the forbidden woods, guided by a mysterious pendant and the hope that her father's disappearance was not what it seemed.
As she ventures deeper into the heart of the cursed forest, Maeve uncovers a forgotten truth: a legacy of blood and magic, a soul bound by ancient punishment, and a family secret that could either save or destroy what's left of the man she once called Father.
"Howl into the Night" is a haunting tale of transformation, sacrifice, and the enduring bond between parent and child. Blending elements of dark fantasy, mystery, and emotional depth, this coming-of-age story explores what it means to face the monsters within-and the love that can redeem even the most broken of souls.
