Description
Open Novella Contest 2024 Entry Cassia Rose made a mistake: she didn't believe the legends, but they're real. And learning this truth may just cost her life. After going into the local haunted manor to impress a boy, Cassia sees strange things everywhere, from floating lights to transparent people. When one of these oddities tells her she's marked for death, she accepts her friend's strange suggestion to seek out newcomers calling themselves 'Spirit Hunters.' They are an abnormal group with even more abnormal claims. Spirits roam the world, and Heartwood is an epicenter of activity for them. And Cassia has awoken one of the worst there from its slumber. With the help of these Hunters, including the kind silver-eyed boy tasked with guarding Cassia personally, she will do whatever she needs to survive. Even uncover parts of herself that were meant to remain buried.
