The Hallow Lullaby

"Hush now... don't let the lullaby hear you."

For generations, the Valeharts and Veythornes of Evershade Manor have been more than human-hunters, wardens, and reluctant heirs to a curse older than the foundations themselves.

'Ash' and 'Lyric' know the rules. They've hunted shadows. Escaped mages. Seen their parents bleed to keep the darkness from spilling into the world.

But when the manor seals itself shut one night and every adult vanishes, the rules stop feeling like safety tips and start sounding like a death sentence.

Rule One: Don't leave your room.
Rule Two: Don't follow the humming.
Rule Three: Whatever you do-don't look at her.

Because she's not haunting the house. She's calling something to it.
And 'Ash' and 'Lyric'? They're on the guest list.

A horror murder-mystery with sharp teeth, shadowed halls, and the occasional sarcastic remark before the screaming starts.

"One for Aelric. Two for Elyra. Three for the ones who never wake."
