Journalist Mina Hart was supposed to be planning her wedding. Instead, she flees to the seclusion of New England. In Raven's Run, a village notorious for hauntings, she hopes to make her dream come true and write a horror novel.
But the silence is deceptive. Before long, Mina encounters the mysterious Thomas Black-an attractive man with an aura that is as alluring as it is frightening. He appears out of nowhere, vanishes just as suddenly, and seems to come from a time long past. Although Mina doesn't believe in ghosts at first, she must realize that there is more to Raven's Run than meets the eye.
While her fianc waits for her in the world of the living, Thomas becomes the inspiration for Mina's book. At the same time, inexplicable events begin to pile up. As the shadows start to reach for her, she turns to paranormal investigators who help her navigate the forces surrounding her.
The more she uncovers about the village's history, the clearer it becomes: Thomas's past harbors a darkness that goes far beyond ancient legends. And Mina is already far more entangled in it than she'd like.
