A heart-pounding supernatural thriller set in the wild Scottish Highlands. For fans of chilling gothic mystery and atmospheric folk horror, this is the perfect next read for adults who love a clever, suspenseful plot.
An inheritance that holds a deadly secret. A family curse that refuses to stay buried.
When archivist Elara MacIntyre inherits a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye, she expects a derelict property, not a key to a past she never knew. Leaving her orderly life in Edinburgh behind, she arrives at Glencraig to find a stone cottage sinking into the misty ground-and a community steeped in suspicion of her family name.
But the locals' hostility is the least of her worries. A patch of unseasonal, unmelting frost defies nature on the hillside. A ghostly, mournful song haunts the night. The land itself is sick, and the locals whisper of a betrayed spirit, a Glaistig, whose sorrow manifests as a blight that kills everything it touches.
Driven by a need for answers, Elara uncovers her ancestor's ancient sin: a sacred vow broken for greed. Now, the curse is awakening, spreading its icy grip from her land to the farms of her neighbors. To save the glen, Elara must unravel a generations-old mystery and prove herself worthy as the new Keeper.
She must face the spirit, unite a divided community, and mend a broken vow before the land is consumed by an eternal winter.
Perfect for readers of:
Supernatural thrillers and mystery books for adults
Gothic horror and folk horror books
Fast-paced Kindle mysteries and thrillers
Stories steeped in Celtic legend and atmospheric tension
Step into a world where the landscape is alive, the past is never truly past, and one woman must confront a forgotten truth to survive.
