Dark Pursuit

They say the mountains hold their own mysteries, but lately, it's as if the forest is speaking directly to me. Hi, I'm Ava Kessler, and I've always considered these trails my home, my sanctuary. But when a series of strange accidents start plaguing our family lodge and a mysterious stranger appears out of nowhere, I can't shake the feeling that something—or someone—is watching me. I thought I knew every tree and trail like the back of my hand, but now, darkness lurks where there should be safety, and every rustle in the underbrush sets my nerves on edge. My brother thinks it's just bad luck, but I sense a pattern, a deliberate threat creeping closer. And then there's Elara Sinclair, a captivating photographer whose arrival seems too coincidental. As the lines separating trust and suspicion blur, I'm forced to confront not only the dangers lurking in the wilderness but also the truths buried within myself. Join me as I navigate this treacherous terrain of mystery and intrigue. Will I uncover the truth before it's too late, or will the forest claim more than just my peace of mind?
