Some debts were buried for a reason.

For two hundred years, the people of Harrow Vale have lived free from grief. They buried their dead, forgot their names, and moved on.

But forgotten things are never truly gone.

Marlow Pell has become the keeper of the Quiet Accounts, determined to restore every stolen memory to the town she now calls home. One name at a time, she returns the forgotten dead to their rightful place.

Each name brings healing.

Each name also uncovers another terrible secret.

Beneath Harrow Vale lies an ancient bargain that traded grief for peace-and buried something far darker beneath the town itself.

As memories return, so do long-hidden crimes, restless spirits, and truths no one was meant to remember.

To save the future, Marlow must first uncover the past-even if the truth destroys everything the town believes about itself.

The Long Way Home is the unforgettable second novel in The Pell & Niece Series, combining gothic mystery, literary fantasy, supernatural suspense, and deeply emotional storytelling.
