Seabrook Hall remembers.
When a school trip takes Lena Blackwood to Seabrook Manor, she feels it immediately; the heat in the walls, the whispers in the dark, the pull of a fire that never truly went out.
As Lena and her friends begin uncovering the history someone tried to bury, they find a pattern of blame and silence stretching far beyond one fire. Someone needed the seamstress to be at fault. Someone made sure she could not speak for herself.
But the past is not content to stay buried.
It presses against the walls.
It lingers in the stairwells.
It waits in the heat behind a locked door.
And the deeper Lena listens, the more the house remembers -
until she can no longer tell whether she is uncovering the truth...
or being led toward it.
