Ironwood Skin

Some stories are written in blood. Some are burned into the skin. And some should never be told at all...

Nova "Red" Harlow is no stranger to pain. A tattooed, flame-haired mother of two, she once thrived in the grit and sawdust of construction sites. But after a health crisis forced her out, she found herself trapped in the fluorescent nightmare of retail management - overworked, overlooked, and quietly suffocating.

All that changes when her estranged mother calls in yet another favor: a repair job in the rotting basement of the family home. But under the cracked concrete floor, Red uncovers something older than the town itself - an iron-bound trunk sealed with forgotten symbols. Inside lies a book of inked human skin, whispering in a language no one should understand.

Her son, Axel, begins drawing symbols in his sleep. Her daughter, Lilith, starts forgetting who she is. And Red's tattoos - her pride, her story - begin to twist and move, spelling out horrors from a past she never lived.

The ink is alive.
The ink remembers.
And it wants back what was taken - one bloodline at a time.

Now, with the help of her father Curtis, a legendary biker and former tattoo artist who carries more secrets than scars, Red must face an ancient force that doesn't just possess flesh - it rewrites it.

If Red can't stop what's been unleashed, her skin will become a canvas for something far worse than death.
