The Veiled Whispers of Blackthorn

The mansion had always been there, looming at the edge of Noah’s past—a decaying relic of a childhood she barely dared to remember. It was where the nightmares began. Where shadows whispered her name. Where somethingwatchedfrom the hollow woods beyond the towering gates.

For six years, she stayed away. She thought she had escaped. But when her brother returns, insisting she move back, Noah finds herself stepping over the threshold once more… and the house is waiting. The halls groan with something heavier than time. The mirrors seem to blink when no one is looking. And in her room, untouched after all these years,a single black feather dusted with gold lies in a glass box—the one thing she swore she lost long ago.

A university hiking trip to the Hollow Woods stirs more than ghost stories. Legends of Veylar Morcant, the Keeper of the Hidden Woods, are whispered among the students, dismissed as myth. But Noah knows better. The shadows of the forest are watching, and something—or someone—does not want her to leave.

They say the Hollow Woods are cursed. That Veylar Morcant, the Keeper of the Woods, waits for those who stray too close. Some call him a legend. Others whisper he’s still searching—for something… or someone.

Noah’s return has awakened something within Blackthorn Manor. The doors no longer stay locked. The woods are calling her name. And buried beneath the forgotten pages of history lies a truth far more terrifying than the myths.

She left once.

This time, the house won’t let her go.
