Lannister Hall has loomed empty for decades, its windows black, its iron fences high enough to warn the living away. Security patrols circle the estate day and night - not to keep trespassers out, but to keep something far older trapped inside... No one will speak of why. Years ago, Catherine Lannister died inside the house under violent, disputed circumstances. Her husband and young daughter vanished the same night. Locals still whisper that Catherine never left - that her restless spirit haunts the corridors, searching ceaselessly for the child she lost. The authorities sealed the estate soon after. Better, they claimed, to let the dead rest. Better not to risk awakening her grief… or her wrath. But now everything is about to change. A small investigative team has been granted unprecedented access to Lannister Hall, determined to uncover the truth and put every rumor to rest. They believe they're prepared for what they might find. They're wrong. Because Catherine Lannister is still waiting in the dark, guarding a secret so devastating she will tear apart the living world to protect it - and to reclaim the one thing she cannot let go.
