Damien Cross came to Sabbath Hill looking for silence.
A grieving writer still haunted by the death of his brother, Damien retreats to a forgotten town in the West Virginia mountains, hoping six months of isolation will give him enough distance from his past to finish his book?and perhaps find a reason to keep moving forward.
Instead, Sabbath Hill is waiting for him.
The house he rents is more than abandoned wood and broken windows. It breathes. It remembers. And something inside it already knows his name.
Then Damien meets Sarah.
Mysterious, guarded, and carrying secrets of her own, Sarah warns him that the fog around Sabbath Hill hides things that should never be seen. Soon Damien discovers that the town's darkness reaches far beyond a haunted house. Children have vanished. Ancient bloodlines are awakening. A forgotten coven is preparing a ritual. And beneath the ashes of a devastating fire in 1899 lies a supernatural debt that has been waiting generations to be collected.
As Damien and Sarah dig deeper, they uncover forbidden diaries, buried bloodlines, an exiled warlock, hollow children, and the terrifying legacy of Morganna?a force determined to cross the boundary between worlds. But the deeper they go, the more personal the haunting becomes. Damien's grief is no longer simply a wound; it is something the darkness can use against him.
Sarah, meanwhile, discovers that her own blood may be the key to everything Sabbath Hill has been hiding.
Together, they must confront a century-old prophecy, a coven willing to sacrifice the innocent, and a supernatural force that has been manipulating the town since the night it burned. To survive, Damien may have to surrender pieces of himself?including memories of the brother he could never save.
But destroying the ritual may not be enough.
Because Morganna is only one part of something much older.
And when the ashes finally settle, Damien and Sarah realize that Sabbath Hill was never the end of the story. The curse has roots far beyond the town, the darkness is already stirring again, and somewhere beyond the mountains another door is waiting to be opened.
ASHES OF SABBATH HILL is a haunting supernatural horror novel about grief, forbidden love, inherited darkness, and the terrible things that survive when the past refuses to stay buried.
