Thatâs when the quicksilver mercury blight first surfaced, poisoning the farms of Hollowâs End one by one. It began by consuming the crops–thick, silver sludge bleeding from the earth. Next were the animals. Infected livestock and wild creatures alike staggered off into the woods by dayâonly to return at night, their eyes, fogged white, leering from the trees.
Then, the blight came for the neighbors.
Wren is among the last locals standing. And the blight has finally come for her, too. Now, the only one she can turn to is the last person she wants to call: her ex, Derek. They havenât spoken in months, but Wren and Derek still have one thing in commonâHollowâs End means everything to them. Only thereâs much they donât know about their hometown and its renowned miracle crops. And theyâre about to discover that miracles arenât free.
Their ancestors have an awful lot to pay for, and Wren and Derek are the only ones left to settle old debts.
