His journey of self-discovery leads him to Exham Priory, an imposing and eerie ancestral estate.
As Jason delves deeper into his family's dark history and the secrets of the priory, he encounters a cast of intriguing and characters, each with their own hidden agendas. Strange occurrences and unsettling legends surround the estate, hinting at horrors that lurk just beneath the surface.
The novel blends elements of gothic horror, family drama, and cosmic terror, creating an atmosphere of creeping dread that builds to a heart-pounding climax. It explores themes of lost heredity, the weight of eons of history, and the sometimes terrible price of knowledge.
