Description
Moni always thought her life was ordinary-until the day she touched her grandfather's gravestone and saw his entire life flash before her eyes. What began as a surreal moment of grief unlocked a terrifying gift: the ability to relive the lives of the dead by touching their tombstones. Now a celebrated novelist, Moni keeps the source of her hauntingly realistic books a secret. Her stories, praised for their depth and raw emotion, are drawn from the tragic, forgotten souls she encounters in graveyards across the country. But when she stumbles upon the grave of Lucian Vespera-a man remembered only as a legend, a murderer, a monster-Moni sees something she wasn't prepared for: the truth. Lucian's life unfolds before her like a nightmare unraveling in daylight. A tormented boy raised in violence, an orphan betrayed by family, and a victim of a system that branded him evil before he ever had a chance. The deeper Moni goes into his memories, the more reality begins to blur. Is she merely an observer-or something more? When buried memories whisper too loudly, and justice is tangled in fear and folklore, Moni must decide: will she expose the truth and risk her sanity, or bury it forever and keep writing bestsellers? One truth. One grave. One story too dangerous to tell.
