Produktbeschreibung

In the eerie quiet of Havenwood, a town haunted by the ghosts of a forgotten gold rush, Lily Blackwood inherits more than just her grandmother's house. She inherits The Crimson Quilt, a patchwork of vibrant fabrics salvaged from vintage dresses, stained with rust-colored secrets darker than spilled blood.  Her mother's terrified pleas to leave the past buried only fuel Lily's burning curiosity.  Tucked within the quilt's lining, a faded photograph whispers of a younger Iris, flanked by three men bound to her by a dangerous game of desire and manipulation. Drawn back to Havenwood, Lily unearths a chilling truth.  The quilt isn't just a beautiful heirloom; it's a map of vanished souls, each carefully chosen fabric a chilling memento of a life cut short. The blue gingham of the town baker, the crimson silk of the lawyer's last client, threads of indigo the very shade of the farmer's work shirt-a coded confession woven in a language only her grandmother understood. As Lily unravels the quilt's cryptic message, she discovers a clandestine society, the Keepers, obsessed with preserving the town's prosperity through a ritualistic cycle of sacrifice. The disappearances weren't random; they were offerings. And Lily, unknowingly connected to Iris through blood and the quilt, is the next intended victim. But Havenwood's silence hides more than just forgotten rituals. It conceals a web of entangled relationships, shared secrets, and a history steeped in darkness.  Lily isn't just deciphering a mystery; she's participating in a dangerous dance with the same forces that consumed her grandmother, a dance that will force her to confront not just the town's dark past, but her own inherited potential for darkness. With every stitch she unravels, the danger escalates. Cryptic notes turn into visceral acts of sabotage, mirroring the fates of those lost decades earlier.  The quilt itself seems to shift and whisper, a silent guide and a chilling warning.  As Founder's Day approaches, a celebration masking the Keepers' ancient ritual, Lily must choose - embrace the unsettling legacy she's inherited or become another victim sewn into Havenwood's bloody tapestry.  Time is running out, and the land is hungry.
