Fifteen years ago, I ran away from Whisper Hollow, a small town near Lake Crescent on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. To tell the truth, if you were born there, you will never truly escape. My name is Carris Fallwater, and when I returned, I inherited my grandmother's house and her gift. I'm a medium, which means I have to return the dead back to their graves, because in Whisper Hollow, people, like secrets, don't always stay buried. When I was little, my mother told me to run. But it looks like she was killed. Together with my mysterious neighbor Brian, we will try to solve the mystery of her disappearance, and subsequently find out what kind of dark force is going to bury Whisper Hollow. Now I am forced to work with the dead instead of fighting them, because our common enemy will do anything to destroy the city, and she will start with me.
