Isolated in the
forests of Western Canada, Black Hollow is a town with a dark secret. For
centuries, residents have foretold the return of the Dreamwalker—an ominous
figure from local folklore said to lure young women into the woods with
the help of wolves, and possess them. Yet the boundary between fact and fable
is blurred by a troubling statistic: every now and again, women do go missing.
And after they return, they almost always end up dead.
When Kai wakes up next to the body of a recently missing girl, his memory
blank, he struggles to clear his already threadbare conscience. Miya, a
floundering university student, experiences signs that she may be the
Dreamwalker’s next victim and finds herself caught between a supernatural
kidnapping and a senseless murder. And after the death of a young patient,
crestfallen oncologist Mason embarks on a quest to debunk the town’s
superstitions, only to find his sanity tested.
Yet a maelstrom of ancient grudges, forgotten traumas, and deadly secrets loom
in the foggy forests of Black Hollow. Can three unlikely heroes put aside their
fears, and unite to confront a centuries old evil? Will they uncover the
truth behind the fable, or will the cycle repeat?
