Previously published as Whispers In The Hollow by Baker, Christopher (AUTHOR). The Hollow's BeginningsBy Chris Baker When Claire Delaney inherits an old estate nestled deep in the Appalachian wilderness, she believes it's a chance to start fresh and escape the haunting grief of her mother's death. But the land has a memory-and the forest surrounding her new home is steeped in secrets, sorrow, and a history that refuses to stay buried. As she settles into her new life, Claire begins to hear voices in the woods, and her dreams are filled with a man she's never met but feels she's loved across lifetimes. Soon, she discovers that she's not just dreaming-she's remembering. Claire is the latest incarnation of Liora, a woman bound by blood and magic to Adrian, a soul cursed to find and lose her over and over again through the centuries. Drawn together by fate and torn apart by a powerful force known only as the Hollow, Claire and Adrian must uncover the truth behind their shared past before the curse claims them once more. But the deeper they delve into the history of the Hollow, the more they unravel the horrifying truth: something ancient lives beneath the trees, something that feeds on heartbreak-and it's been waiting for them. A paranormal romance laced with Gothic horror and a chilling sense of inevitability, Whispers in the Hollow is the first installment of a haunting saga about love, memory, and the price of redemption. Will Claire and Adrian finally break the cycle-or are they doomed to repeat it forever?
