In 1960, children started disappearing from a small town in Montana.
They were never found.
When Reason May, her brilliant brother Arthur, and her strange, perceptive sister Beatrice vanish one quiet Friday night, the world assumes they are just the latest names on a growing list of unsolved cases.
But they are not gone.
They are in the Elsewhere.
A place that looks like home and isn't. A world where time does not move, where no one grows older, and where the woods whisper and shadows walk. A world filled with other lost children-some who have been there for days, some for centuries-and things that come out at night that wear familiar faces.
As Reason struggles to keep her siblings and the others alive, Arthur and Beatrice begin to understand the terrible truth behind the place they're trapped in. And deep within the mountain that holds the Elsewhere together lives a man who has been holding this broken world in place for hundreds of years.
There is no way out.
There is only survival.
And there is a choice no one should ever have to make.
Some cages cannot be broken.
Some sins cannot be undone.
Some horrors can only be contained.
A dark, emotional, slow-burn fantasy about family, sacrifice, and what it means to keep the world from falling apart.
Seraphina Ravelle, the stepdaughter of Marquess Edric, grew up surrounded by luxury-but behind the mansion doors, cruelty ruled. Her mother, Isadora Ravelle, used her power to torment the Marquess's first daughter, Liora.
Seraphina loved her sister dearly, yet she could never show it.
Desperate to save Liora from their mother's abuse, Seraphina secretly forged a letter and sent a marriage proposal in her sister's name to the feared Grand Duke, Izek Viremont.
But instead of accepting Liora...
the Duke sent the proposal back-to Seraphina.
Why would one of the most powerful men in the kingdom choose her?
And what does the Duke truly want?
