Clara Holloway thought her thirteenth birthday would be just another cold morning at Marrowmere Orphanage - Until the shadows came.

When a strange locket awakens and ghostly creatures tear through her world, Clara is thrust into a realm of magic, memory and ancient secrets. At Calendor Keep, nothing is as it seems and everyone has a past. Some just won't stay buried.
As darkness spreads through the veil between worlds, Clara and her new friends must uncover the truth - before it finds them first.
Magic is stirring.

Relics are waking.

And Clara may be the key to everything.

The world ended in a single season.

Cities burned. Governments vanished. The dead learned to walk. In the ruins of what was once home, the last humans run from rotters in the day… and from something far worse after dark.

Zara was alone—starving, hunted, one breath from the end—when a stranger dragged her off the street and into the tunnels beneath the city. His name is Teddy. A man who should have broken long ago, yet didn’t.

In the underground refuge, Zara learns the truth survivors whisper: vampires own the night now… and their blood is the only thing keeping the zombie plague from finishing its work.

Saved by chance, Zara now faces a choice she never asked for—hide until the world finishes dying, or stand with the few still reckless enough to fight for what comes next.

Because the old world is gone.
And whatever rises after it… will be decided by the ones who lived.
