She Who Was Owed

De: Calla Harrow

Caleb Pryce has carried the handprint on his arm since the dreams began. A dead woman's grip, mapped in bruise-dark skin that stays cold no matter the weather. When the mark starts spreading, he follows it south—to a holler in the North Carolina mountains where his ancestor killed a healer named Delphia Skaggs two hundred years ago.

Delphia is not resting. She is not a ghost. She is something older—a woman whose suffering was never witnessed, whose death was never mourned, whose body was buried in ground that remembers everything. She has been waiting for the last Pryce to come home. Not for revenge. For something worse: to make him feel what she felt. Every moment. Every wound.

The mark is her claim. It is spreading. And the only woman who understands the clearing where Delphia lies—Nessa Greer, keeper of the land, last of her own line—knows that witnessing may cost Caleb more than his body can hold.

For readers of T. Kingfisher, Andrew Joseph White, and Appalachian dark fiction. The final book of The Hollow Places trilogy.
