Publisher's Synopsis
Sam Mercer never intended to return to the crumbling house by the sea. But when his estranged father passes, he's forced to confront a place steeped in shadowed memories and unanswered questions. The coastal fog seems thicker than ever-an eerie veil that hides more than the decaying town around him.
One morning, through the swirling mist, Sam glimpses a young girl beneath the old swings. Pale. Familiar. And impossible.
Haunted by fragmented memories of his childhood friend Emily-who vanished years ago-Sam is pulled into a relentless search for the truth. As he delves deeper into the town's long-buried silence, strange visions and unsettling encounters unravel his grip on reality. Why can't he remember what truly happened on the cliffs that day?
And why does the fog seem to know exactly when to appear?
With every step closer to the truth, Sam must confront the weight of his own choices-and a past that refuses to remain buried.
But some promises are never forgotten.
And some memories will not let you go.
What really happened in the fog? And what price will remembering exact?
