Blurb:
Everyone has something in their past that they struggle with. Everyone makes a special effort to keep those secrets hidden. Surely, Willow Graves is no different.
And while our past maybe mild compared to hers, she has reason.
Struggling with a sleep paralysis and its paranormal mystery of the unexplained, Willow just wants to find a place to settle down in, hoping she can unravel the webs spinning in her mind.
Lake Serenity seems like the perfect place. It’s located on the borders of a small town in Virginia with a humble but colorful, southern population. So when Syros Liatos offers her a job there to manage his secluded Lodge, he promises the privacy she so desperately needs.
For almost a year, she finally feels as though she is making progress towards having an almost too normal life. Purposely weary and cut off from people, she forms a few bonds and even forms a connection with the lake’s serene mountains and wildlife. She begins to feel safe, as if for the first time she has a home, despite the constant, unexplained bitterness brewing between the town’s natives and the Liatos family. Regardless of all of that, Willow couldn’t be happier. Her past is buried. She is left alone to deal with her own problems without the threat of anyone finding out.
That is until the natives start turning up dead one by one, and a corrupted sheriff is hell bent on blaming Sterling Walker, one of few people Willow has grown to trust. Suddenly the real reason as to why Lake Serenity is so different from any other place begins to unravel. Willow’s past as well as present entangles her within a dangerous web greater than those that haunt her dreams. Dark deeds and horrors that began long before she ever came to the mountain slowly unfold and make themselves known.
Can Willow Graves handle the truth? For the web is but a veil and its gate, the Willow. And in its forbidden and supernatural unknown, regardless of determination, she will have to tap into what she was never meant to understand. Or will she, and how many more will die or be blamed if she doesn’t?
