The House at 3: 17
The house had been empty for thirty years.
But someone had wound the clock.
When twenty-nine-year-old reporter Emma Carter inherits her grandmother's isolated house outside Bellweather, she expects old memories, family secrets, and a property she is forbidden to sell for thirty days. Instead, she discovers a grandfather clock that moves without a key, a photograph showing a woman who disappeared decades ago, and a terrifying pattern centered around one impossible time: 3:17.
For generations, people connected to the house have vanished. In 1957, Sarah Vale disappeared without a trace. In 1987, Emma's grandmother, Eleanor, vanished for twenty-seven hours and returned with a story no one believed. Now Emma is finding evidence that connects those disappearances-and somehow, she is part of the pattern.
With the help of Daniel Reed, whose own family has been haunted by the house's secrets, Emma begins uncovering hidden police records, impossible photographs, forgotten fires, and a sealed passage beneath the house. But the deeper they investigate, the more the house seems to respond.
At exactly 3:17, voices of the dead return. Doors lead somewhere they should not. Photographs reveal events that have not happened yet. And the past, present, and possible futures begin to overlap.
Emma has spent her career separating facts from stories.
Now she must discover what happens when the story starts changing the facts.
