The Watcher's Debt: A Legacy of Eyes and EchoesA house that breathes. A debt written in blood. A family bound by a horror older than time.Lilith Rain never wanted to return to Blackwood Cottage. The crumbling estate, hidden deep in the mist-shrouded woods, has been in her family for generations-but no one ever stays long. When her estranged stepfather vanishes, leaving behind only a cryptic note ("Thirty nights. Do not leave. Do not open the locked door."), Lilith is forced to confront the sinister legacy she tried to escape.From the moment she steps inside, the house watches her back. The walls hum with forgotten voices. The mirrors reflect something that isn't her. And the locked door at the end of the hall scratches at night, as if something inside is learning the shape of her fear.As the days crawl toward the thirtieth night, Lilith uncovers the truth: the Rains don't own Blackwood Cottage. They feed it. For centuries, her family has served as tithes to the Watcher-an ancient hunger bound by a pact of terror. Now, as the last heir, Lilith must survive the Watcher's game or watch it claim her younger sister instead.But the Watcher isn't the only thing lurking in Blackwood's bones. Beneath the cellar, buried in rot and regret, lies the Bloomward-a living, breathing darkness older than the Watcher itself. And it remembers Lilith's name.Praise for The Watcher's Debt: ✧ "A masterpiece of gothic horror-The Haunting of Hill House meets Hereditary in this chilling tale of inherited terror."✧ "The Watcher will haunt your dreams.
