Seventeen-year-old Norah Caldwell never wanted to move to Sleepy Hollow. She misses the wide skies of North Dakota, her friends, and the quiet certainty of belonging somewhere. In this town, she's just the weird country girl-the one who talks to animals, chooses the woods over Wi-Fi, and eats lunch alone. With a mother lost to late-night parties and a stepfather whose criticism cuts deeper than silence, Norah's only refuge is the local ranch, where the world still makes sense. Until one autumn evening, it doesn't. Cutting through a pumpkin patch on her way home from the stables, Norah comes face to face with the legendary Headless Horseman. She barely escapes with her life-saved by the enigmatic Ichabod Crane and sharp-eyed Detective Abbie Mills-but when the night is over, no one believes her story. Determined to prove she isn't losing her mind, Norah begins digging into Sleepy Hollow's buried past. What she uncovers is far worse than a ghostly rider: a centuries-old bond tying her to the town, a past life steeped in blood and vengeance, and a destiny that has been waiting for her return. Sleepy Hollow has claimed her. And it never lets go.
