Knock Knock
A hidden key. A talking ghost. A village built on dangerous secrets.
Twelve-year-old Aiden lives in Blackwood Village-a place so quiet you have to bribe excitement just to say hello. His best friend, Iain, prefers it that way. Iain likes safe, non-cursed things like shepherd's pie and staying alive. Aiden? Aiden prefers the kind of thrill that makes your heart hammer against your ribs like a trapped bird.
So when a rhythmic Knock. Knock. echoes from deep inside an ancient oak tree near the abandoned Blackwood Manor, Aiden doesn't run. He opens the tree's hidden wooden door and pulls out a strange, ice-cold silver whistle.
Big mistake.
The moment Aiden blows the whistle, the dull forest transforms into electric colors, and a snarky, half-solid ghost boy named Jamie appears-along with a shifting, ink-black creature made of nightmare fuel. The whistle isn't just an old trinket; it's a beacon, a key, and an invitation to every shadow-monster in the Highlands.
To survive the night and save their town, Aiden and Iain must dive into a hidden labyrinth of underground tunnels beneath the manor, uncover ancient silver tuning forks, and learn the secret rhythm that keeps the darkness at bay.
Because the shadows aren't just coming for the manor anymore. They're creeping under the floorboards of the entire village... and they're knocking on Aiden's door.
