Every seven years, the fog returns. And every time, it takes someone with it.

 

In the forgotten village of Buckhones Hollow, memory is a dangerous thing. The fog doesn’t just swallow people—it rewrites them. Names vanish from stones. Stories shift in their telling. And beneath the spiral tree at the edge of the woods, something ancient waits to keep the truth buried.

 

When Elias Finch arrives to record the village’s history, he uncovers more than silence and superstition—he finds a ledger that erases its own pages, a girl no one remembers, and a town bound to a curse written in thread, blood, and bone.

 

But some memories refuse to stay buried. And some graves were never meant to be empty.
