The Lantern at Ivycoil Inn

They say the lantern never dies. It only waits for the next hand.
When Ellie Shaw steps into the snug of The Ivycoil Inn, she finds more than warmth and ale. A name glows on her phone, a mark burns on her wrist, and the mist outside carries voices that should not walk. One by one, the keepers fall - through sacrifice, through betrayal, through silence - until Ellie alone must face the flame that has haunted Stoke for generations.

But the lantern is not easily refused. Its ember lingers. Its story waits. And some tales are never finished.
