Footprints on the ceiling. A room locked from the inside. A skeptic about to meet the one case she cannot explain away.
Dr. Lena Vance is a forensic psychologist who does not believe in the supernatural, and she has spent her whole career proving that the impossible is only ever the possible in disguise. Then a young man dies terrified in a sealed apartment, beneath a trail of footprints no one can account for, and the trick refuses to show itself.
As the bodies multiply, a pattern surfaces that the city has been quietly ignoring for years: lonely people who start seeing shadows move, hearing sounds inside the walls, and then dying by their own hands. At the heart of it lies an occult society called the Hollow Ones, an overgrown orchard where the dead are drawn, and a grief so old and so patient that it has learned to wear a friendly face.
With her partner slipping into the same terror that killed the others, and her own hard certainty beginning to crack, Lena has to decide how far she will follow the evidence into the dark, and whether the hand feeding her every clue is helping her, or hunting her.
Perfect for readers who love atmospheric psychological suspense, forensic mysteries, and slow-burn thrillers with a chilling, grounded twist.
The Runic Orchard is a standalone supernatural-tinged thriller about the stories we tell ourselves to explain the dark, and the terrible cost of finally being believed.
