In the misty forests of Washington's Olympic Peninsula, secrets cling to the shadows like moss on old cedar trees.

After a decade away, Isla Brennan returns to her hometown of Cedar Falls-a small logging town on the edge of the reservation and the Pacific coast-to settle her late father's affairs. But the quiet homecoming she hoped for shatters when she discovers a chilling message carved into the wood of her family's boathouse: Welcome Back, Isla.

The last thing she wants is attention, especially from Caleb Holt, the rugged local sheriff who was once her teenage crush. With his brooding eyes and unwavering sense of duty, Caleb knows there's more to Isla's return than grief. And when strange accidents start piling up, it becomes clear-someone wants Isla gone. Or worse.

As the storm clouds gather over the peninsula, old passions ignite and long-buried secrets resurface. To survive, Isla and Caleb must unravel a web of lies stretching back generations...before the forest claims another soul.
