Everyone leaves. Not everything does. When eighteen-year-old Rowan Hale returns to Briar Hollow after their mother's death, the town feels exactly the same-too much the same. Old streets, old rules, and old secrets wait quietly for them, including Eli Mercer, the best friend who vanished seven years ago and hasn't aged a day since. As Rowan begins to uncover the truth about the town, they realize Briar Hollow doesn't just remember the dead-it keeps them. And some things will do anything to make sure Rowan never leaves again.
