After Dusk

After Dusk - Official Book Description

The things we forget still remember us.

Mara Vale expected an inheritance. She did not expect a house at the end of a road that barely exists, a dead relative who knew far too much about her life, or a forest that seems to recognize her.

After the death of her mother, Mara has built a life around moving forward. Her work is predictable, her apartment is familiar, and her relationship with Ryan is comfortable precisely because neither of them asks for more than the other is willing to give.

Then a letter arrives.

A great-aunt Mara barely remembers has left her an isolated stone house outside the tiny town of Millbrook. What begins as a reluctant trip to settle an estate quickly becomes something else entirely. Inside the house, Mara discovers decades of journals and letters filled with impossible details about her childhood, warnings about the woods, and references to things that move beyond a boundary of ancient stones.

And to one figure who does not behave like the others.

He waits.

As the road home disappears and the world Mara knows slips farther out of reach, she is drawn into Memorywood, a place where memories linger beyond the people who made them and the past refuses to stay buried.

Somewhere within the forest are answers about her mother, her family, and the pieces of herself Mara never realized were missing.

But Memorywood has been waiting for her.

And Mara may not be the only one who has.

After Dusk is the first book in The Memorywood Trilogy, a dark fantasy blending supernatural mystery, slow-burn romance, grief, buried memory, and a forest where forgetting is never the same thing as being gone.
