Blurb:
Six women. One name. One house that never forgets.
It’s 2025. Clara Bennett arrives at her late grandmother’s estate to rest, recover, and forget. But the house has other plans.
It starts with a note:
don’t let him in
No signature. No explanation. Written in her own handwriting.
Then come the whispers in the walls, the vanishing pills, the mirrors that don’t reflect quite right. Her husband, Owen, is kind—too kind. Careful with his words. Careful with her. As if he’s hiding something. Or waiting for her to remember.
Only Bruno, the stray dog who appeared the day she arrived, seems to know the truth. He growls at Owen. Refuses to enter certain rooms. Watches the mirrors like something watches back.
Beneath the floorboards, Clara finds a journal—page after page written by women who share her name, her face, her voice. Different decades. Same story. Same ending.
Every twenty years, the house claims another victim and a Clara disappears.
And time is up.
