Maria Ashwood never thought she'd return home.
Five years ago, Maria left home to escape her home and the looming shadow of her father and the family traditions he enforced. Now, called back to Ashwood Manor upon his death to be recognized as his heir, she must navigate the lingering issues with her siblings and something older and more sinister lurking amidst the old stones. She will need to rely on her wits, her experience in fighting monsters that lurked in the dark of night, and her friend Akara to unravel the mysterious haze that haunts the Ashwood family and her own tangled relations with her brothers and sister.
