The Clearing

By: Aleks Kavalenko

Narrated by: AI Voice Chuck Miller

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. AT EICHHOLM ESTATE, THE POWERFUL HUNT PEOPLE NO ONE WILL MISS.

Mara Holt believes the invitation will change her life. The guests are elegant, influential, and terrifyingly discreet. They know her work, her failures, and exactly how badly she wants to belong.

Then they place a knife in her hand.

Every new member of the circle must kill. Not for pleasure. Not merely as a ritual. Shared guilt is stronger than loyalty. Once everyone has blood on their hands, no one can betray the others. No one can leave.

Mara refuses.

The gates close. The forest becomes an arena. And the hunt begins.

Her estranged father, Konrad Reiner, has guarded the circle’s records for thirty years. He knows how they select people whose disappearance will leave no trace. He knows why survivors are never believed. And he knows that by Sunday, Mara will either be dead or bound to the circle forever.

The Clearing is a dark conspiracy horror thriller about human hunting, elite power, and a system that does not need your loyalty once it owns your guilt.
