DEERBORN
(Book One)

The small town of Bon Resi thrives on gossip, but when a local man is found dead on the mountain looming over town, the whispers turn to something darker.

​

Sybil Deerborn has always kept her distance from rumours—until she can’t. The victim is her own boss, Harold McGrath, the well-known owner of McGrath’s Orchards and the local deli. Murdered. And Sybil might know who did it.

​

Just a day before Harold’s death, an unexpected visitor arrived in Bon Resi, demanding to know where Harold was—insisting he needed to speak to him. But Harold never got the chance.

​

Now, Sybil can’t shake the feeling that something is watching her. Strange tracks appear near her home. Shadows move where they shouldn’t. And at night, she hears noises—low, guttural sounds that don’t belong to any animal she knows.

​

Curiosity gets the best of her—until it becomes something else entirely. As threats arrive like clockwork, she realises she isn’t just looking for answers; she’s being hunted. The pieces are falling into place, and Sybil is one of them.

​

And something out there doesn’t want her to see the full picture.
