In a town gripped by fear, can love uncover the truth—or will secrets tear them apart? Clara Parker left behind everything she knew to become a mail-order bride, seeking a fresh start in the rugged frontier town of Hollow Creek. But her new husband, Everett Cole, isn’t the man she thought he was. Guarded and mysterious, Everett sneaks away at odd hours, leaving Clara with more questions than answers. When children disappear from the town they just moved to, whispers of curses and dark forces swirl among the superstitious townsfolk. Suspicion falls on outsiders, and Clara is caught in a web of fear and distrust. Determined to clear Everett’s name—and uncover the truth behind his strange behavior—Clara embarks on a perilous search for answers. As she navigates a treacherous terrain, hoping to unravel a sinister plot, Clara must confront her doubts about the man she’s married. Can she trust Everett to protect her and the town’s children, or is he hiding secrets that could destroy them all?
