In the shadowed forests of Dartmoor lies Wrathenville-a village hidden for centuries. Strangers who stumble upon it rarely return. Those who do can never find it again. The villagers live long, keep to themselves, and guard a grim secret: a bargain sealed in blood. When Dr. Elias Welburn, a folklore researcher, arrives to investigate a string of vanishings and anomalies, he expects superstition. Instead, he finds a place untouched by time, where the mist seems to think for itself and the forest feels alive and watchful. The deeper he digs, the more the choice to leave slips from his hands. At its heart lies the Hollow-and its Guardian-an ancient force that has fed for generations on ritual sacrifice. But Wrathenville is no ordinary mystery. It is in his blood. As the village prepares to seal itself once more, Elias must decide: escape while he still can... or embrace the place that has been calling to him all along.
