The Whispering Orchard

by Mya Closs

Overview

When Mara returns to her childhood home after years of silence, she is haunted not only by memories of her cruel father but by the disappearance of her younger sister, Eliza. The only clue left behind: the orchard.

Overgrown, endless, and whispering in the wind, the orchard has always been a place of unease. But when Mara begins to uncover fragments of her past: objects that vanish, voices with nobody around, and memories that aren't hers, possibly. She realizes the truth about Eliza may be buried far deeper than ever imagined.

The orchard pulls her in, Mara must confront not just the shadows of her childhood, but the fragile boundaries of her own mind. The deeper Mara goes, the less she can trust herself and the closer she comes to the truth she may not survive.

A haunting tale of guilt, trauma, and the thin line between memory and madness, The Whispering Orchard lures readers down a path where reality unravels and horror takes root.
