Fifteen years ago, Detective Mara Quinn ran from the fire that destroyed her family home and everything she thought she knew about her past. She swore she’d never return.

But when a series of ritualistic murders shakes her hometown, she’s dragged back into the nightmare she thought she’d escaped. The victims are arranged like offerings, strange symbols carved into their skin, and burned feathers scattered at the scene.

The deeper Mara digs, the more the case twists toward her own bloodline. The symbols match carvings from her childhood home. The victims are tied to The Ashen Circle, a secret society everyone believed died in the fire.

Then the package arrives.
Inside: a single burned feather.
And a note that reads: “You were there the night it began.”

Now, Mara must face buried memories, dark secrets, and a killer who knows her better than anyone else.

Because the fire didn’t end the cult.
It rebirthed it.
And they’ve been waiting for her.
