Songs Beneath the Skin

Some places remember.

When 21-year-old Enola Voss returns home with her mother after escaping an abusive relationship that left her fractured in ways no one can see, Hollow Creek is supposed to be a fresh start. Instead, the quiet town seems determined to remember everything she'd rather forget.

The old house hums beneath her feet. The forest calls to her in dreams. And a strange necklace awakens something in her blood that should have remained buried centuries ago.

Long before Hollow Creek existed, a healer made a desperate bargain with an ancient force known as the Marrow. She believed every life deserved to be remembered. But grief became obsession, mercy became control, and remembrance became possession. The woman history forgot became the Matriarch, and the world she built still waits beneath the forest's roots.

As Enola is pulled deeper into its hidden heart, she crosses paths with Artemis, an enigmatic being created to serve the Matriarch's impossible vision. Bound by obedience yet haunted by something dangerously close to free will, he may be the only one capable of stopping the woman who made him.

But memories have power.

Some can heal.

Some can haunt.

And some refuse to stay buried.
