While sorting through their mother’s things, three sisters—Lucia, Vivien, and Anna—find a sealed volume bound in old magic. The pages are blank. The danger is not.
When whispers echo through the halls and shadows twist just beyond sight, they realize they’ve awakened something — something that doesn’t want to be contained.
As the mansion becomes a battlefield of unraveling spells and encroaching peril, the sisters must master their gifts and face the mystery their mother left behind.
Because some books don’t want to be read. And this one is writing its own ending.
An eerie prequel to The Witches of Ebony Peak— a story of magic, memory, and what waits between the pages.
This is one of three prequel short stories set in the Witches of Ebony Peak series. You can find your way into Ebony Peak on any of these paths, as each story stands on its own. If you prefer a guided road, start with The Empty Book, continue with The Rippling Shadow, and finish with The Onyx Call before crossing into the first full novel, Keeper of the Veil.
