After their father's funeral, Kelly and her brothers expect grief, confusion, maybe even silence - but not the sudden urgency that overtakes their mother. Dee forces them to pack their entire lives in a single night, dragging them to a remote, decaying house deep in the countryside. She won't explain why. She won't answer questions. And the more she smiles, the more wrong everything feels.
From the moment they arrive, nothing sits right. The house is cold in a way that sinks into the bones. Shadows linger too long. Doors close without wind. And all three siblings wake from the same vivid nightmare - lingering in their minds, resurfacing in strange flashes of d j vu... and in small, chilling details that begin manifesting around them.
As they explore the abandoned rooms and overgrown property, they uncover unsettling objects hidden within the walls, cryptic symbols, and a history their mother refuses to acknowledge. The deeper they look, the more the house seems to respond - watching, listening, echoing their every fear.
And the more their mother changes.
What begins as a desperate attempt to understand their new reality becomes a descent into something older, darker, and disturbingly connected to their bloodline. The siblings must confront the truth about their family, their past, and the house that seems to have been waiting for them.
A slow-burn, atmospheric thriller steeped in dread and generational secrets, Rooted to Evil invites readers into a world where the past is never truly buried... and some homes remember everything.
