    The shadows at Brannon House don't just watch . . . They remember. 
     
    When Billa feels eyes following her every move in her cottage on the edge of the estate, she dismisses it as paranoia—the lingering trauma of her kidnapping. But as the sensation intensifies, she reluctantly considers the one place she swore she'd never move into: the mansion. 
     
    Meanwhile, new mother Kenzi is harboring secrets that even she may not fully understand—memories hidden away by time, trauma . . . or something far darker. As she searches for her missing psychiatric files from Radley Institution, disturbing questions emerge. Was her time there longer than anyone has admitted? And what really happened in the abandoned theater on the grounds? 
     
    When Billa's kidnapper resurfaces with more demands, the family's fragile peace shatters. Carol, the devoted auntie, grows increasingly protective of the newborn as strange occurrences plague the estate. 
     
    As the walls of Brannon House close in, one thing becomes clear—the past isn't just haunting them, it's hunting them. 
     
    Will they uncover the truth before history claims another victim . . . or are the Brannons bound to bleed for their legacy?
