Briar Gap, West Virginia, was already dying before the earth began to shake. The coal jobs left, the young people followed, and all that remained were empty houses, bad memories, and the dark bulk of Kithlow Ridge leaning over the town like a warning. Eben Locke swore he’d never come back. But his kid brother dies in a “work accident” on the ridge, and the official story doesn’t match the tremors in the ground or the stone dust in the coffin. Coming home means facing the town that chewed him up, the mining company that owns what’s left—and something older that’s waking inside the rock.

Years ago, after a beloved cop and brutal abuser “fell” down the basement stairs, Leah rewrote the rules for her triplet sons. The courts don’t save women like her.

Hollis Varn returns to Fenwell Hollow expecting paperwork, property, maybe a quiet inheritance. What he steps into is something older: Tallow House, a house that listens.
