A MISSING PERSON MYSTERY LIKE NO OTHER
I am not gone. Mum is not gone. We are here. We are hidden.
A father who is trying to rescue his lost wife.
Their child, desperately searching the wild forests and dangerous mountains of the Scottish Highlands, not knowing what's out there.
An abandoned cottage in the remote wilderness, filled with thousands of confusing, terrifying handwritten notes.
And a dark, looming voice who threatens to destroy everything...
