Luke never believed the whispers that followed him through the cobblestone streets of Hollow Creek—the stories about his father's disappearance, the strange lights over the lake, the door in the old mill that no one dared open. A quiet cartographer's apprentice with ink-stained fingers and a habit of sketching maps of places he'd never been, Luke's ordinary life shatters the night he discovers his own name carved into a tree older than the town itself. Drawn into a labyrinth of buried secrets, forgotten magic, and family lies, he must decide how much of himself he is willing to lose to uncover the truth.
