Angol
When Evelyn Ward inherits her family's forgotten estate, she only wants to sell the land and leave its ghosts behind. But the orchard surrounding the old house is not dead-it's waiting. Beneath its soil sleep generations of women bound to a secret harvest, their voices humming in the roots, their dreams fermenting in the wine cellar below.
As Evelyn unearths her family's past-through photographs, diaries, and the cryptic warnings of a reclusive gardener-she discovers the orchard feeds on more than rain and sunlight. It remembers. It hungers. And once a year, it calls for the Keeper to return.
From award-winning dark fiction author Claire Whitmore comes a haunting, gothic saga of blood, memory, and rebirth. The Orchard of Bones blends lyrical horror with mythic tragedy, exploring how love, grief, and legacy take root in the soil-and what happens when the world itself begins to dream.
The orchard keeps what it loves.
And it loves you.
