First, the birds vanished.Then the town went quiet.Then came the fog... and the teeth.In the forgotten Appalachian town of Ashvale, seventeen-year-old Ivy Lang begins to hear voices in the mist - voices calling her by a name no one should know. As eerie silence grips the town, Ivy finds herself at the center of a growing nightmare: impossible visions, cult-like hysteria, and a fog that doesn’t hide... it hunts.When ancient memories awaken beneath the earth, Ivy learns the truth: she is not cursed.She’s the key.Now, the fate of the world depends on a girl caught between saving humanity and opening the door to something older than time - a force that speaks in mirrors, wears forgotten names, and feeds on silence.She can seal the gate.Or she can become it.________________________________________
