When Mara Vale inherits a crumbling estate in the forgotten town of Larksbay, she expects dust, ghosts of memory, maybe a few family secrets. What she finds is far worse.
Hollow House doesn't just creak in the night-it watches. Mirrors don't just reflect-they remember. And Mara? She's not sure she's alone in her skin anymore.
With the help of a reluctant librarian and her mother's buried journal, Mara must unravel the mystery of the Hollow Guest-a mirror-born entity with a hunger for identity.
In a town where grief lingers like fog and secrets rot beneath the floorboards, Mara will face what lives in the glass... and what's looking back.
Some reflections want to be seen. Others want to become you
