About this audiobook

“Eerie, immersive, and impossible to put down.” —Shea Ernshaw, #1 New York Times bestselling author

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Griffin comes an atmospheric and haunting adult debut in which a disappearance rattles a small town, forcing one woman to confront her fate and unravel the dark secrets of the past—perfect for fans of Once There Were Wolves and The Unmaking of June Farrow.

In the rural town of Bone Creek, Emma Pierce has devoted her life to caring for the wind-battered trees of the rugged Washington coast, feeling more grounded one hundred feet up than with both feet planted firmly on land.

When she’s climbing, Emma can almost convince herself that the curse claiming the women in her family is nothing more than hollow gossip. When she’s climbing, the changes in her sister don’t seem so alarming.

But when her boyfriend Eli’s brother goes missing, not even the trees can calm the dread in Emma’s gut. Both Eli and her sister fall under the town’s suspicion, and Emma throws herself into the search for answers. Soon, she discovers that the town is holding onto secrets—and so too is her own family.

Forced to confront what the people she loves most are capable of, Emma must uncover her forgotten memories from the night her mother died. A generations-old feud has been simmering beneath the surface of Bone Creek...and it’s coming to a lethal boil in the very woods Emma has always called home.
