The truth lies deeper than Jordy ever thought-and it's twisted beyond recognition.
Months have passed since the forest took everything.
Mara. Ezra.
The future Jordy was supposed to have.
Now, she's going back.
To save them.
To finish what Graves started.
To dig up the truth that's been buried beneath the rot.
But the Smokies remember.
Every trail. Every scream. Every lie.
Graves's shadow still lingers-and the secrets he left behind run darker than Jordy could ever imagine.
Because beneath the soil of those mountains lies something worse than a ghost.
A name whispered in every search report and every sleepless night.
Dennis Martin.
Some roots don't split.
They rot.
And they take everything with them.
