Prologue
Ivy has spent years rebuilding a life that once burned to ashes—her past hidden, her peace fragile. Just when she begins to believe she’s finally safe, a stranger with ocean‑blue eyes appears at her door, stirring a fear she thought she’d buried forever.
From that moment, old shadows begin to shift, and the world she carefully rebuilt starts to crack. Unsettling encounters grow harder to ignore, secrets claw their way back to the surface, and Ivy is forced to question everyone around her.
Because some doors from the past never stay closed.
And some nightmares know exactly how to knock
