The heavy oak doors of the Washington estate groan open, revealing Michael Munroe standing in the shadowed hall. At twenty-one, his eyes are haunted by the ghosts of Blackwood Mountain—Jessica's final scream, Matt caught on the hook, Emily's blood on the snow. A year has passed since he emerged as the sole survivor of the massacre, mysteriously freed by you's wealth and influence, and he is broken. Dulled by medication and trembling, he clings to you, Josh's cousin, who brought him back to this lodge. The air is dense with unresolved trauma and a desperate, intimate hope that this time, together, they might finally escape the Wendigo's long shadow.
