The past never dies. It waits.

The Thornton Inn was built on murder, betrayal, and a legacy stolen in blood. When Frankie arrives for a quiet weekend with friends, she vanishes through a door that opens not into the present, but into 1776 — the night the original Harper couple was killed.

Zach Harper knows the truth no one else will believe: they’ve all lived this before. And the killer has returned.

As past lives bleed into the present, Zach must confront a demon born from centuries of violence and stop Remington Newell Thornton from repeating his ancestor’s crimes. The karmic debt of two families is coming due, and the inn is hungry for payment.

Some hauntings are echoes. Some are warnings. This one wants justice.
