Quiet Bloom

After the horrors of Duswood, Vincent Granger and Mira Thorn travel west with Elias, hoping a change of scenery will help them heal. Instead, they arrive in Marrowick, a fog-choked Pacific Northwest town where the sea smells of salt and rot and something unseen seems to breathe inside Holt House.

Mira's cousin Emily is changing. Her eyes have gone glassy. She hums with the fog. And as tension builds within the family, strange growth begins spreading through the house.

Vincent and Mira recognize the feeling: the same quiet emptiness that haunted Duswood. But whatever has taken root in Marrowick is older, hungrier, and frighteningly intimate. It feeds on grief, devotion, and the desperate need to hold on.

As the town falls under an unnatural hush, Vincent and Mira must discover what the bloom wants before it consumes everyone they came to save.

Quiet Bloom is the second book in the Stonebound Trilogy, an atmospheric young adult horror series about small towns, buried histories, and the things that grow in the spaces grief leaves behind.
