Blackthorne Manor has survived more than two centuries of secrets. Samantha Keating is about to let Hollywood inside.

When her agent arranges for a major film production to use Blackthorne as a location, Samantha sees a chance to secure the manor’s future. For six weeks, its silent halls will belong to actors, cameras, and a crew blissfully unaware that nearly everyone in Fallow County is something other than human.

Then a sealed room is opened for the first time since 1946.

A young crew member disappears. The people who knew her insist she never existed. And somewhere behind Blackthorne’s walls, an ancient hunger is awake.

As Samantha searches for the truth, she discovers that protecting Fallow County may require more than keeping its supernatural residents out of sight. With Owen beside her and the fragile peace between the factions at risk, she must stop a creature that cannot be exposed without revealing them all.

Because in Fallow County, the most dangerous illusions are the ones everyone agrees to believe.
