About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with feelings of isolation, distrust of authority, or the heavy weight of a family legacy they never asked for. Set in a remote Scottish village, the story follows Alva as she survives under the roof of a father she believes murdered her mother. It is a haunting exploration of grief and the paralyzing fear of discovering that the people meant to protect us are the ones we should fear most. While the plot involves a supernatural mystery, the emotional core focuses on resilience and the courage it takes to break a cycle of silence. This is an intense, atmospheric read best suited for mature teens who enjoy psychological thrillers and can handle dark, high stakes themes of survival and betrayal.
