J. K. Maddox

In the forgotten town of Auburn Hollow, a series of ritualistic murders mirrors a fire-scarred past long buried in silence. When investigator Isaac Thorne arrives to uncover the truth, he finds more than evidence—he finds echoes. Each death marks a note in a lullaby meant not to summon something new, but to keep something ancient from waking.

Evelyn Mare, the only known survivor of a failed ritual decades ago, has lived in exile, trying to forget the night she fled the circle—and the voices that never stopped singing. But with the cycle reborn and the old symbols resurfacing, she must return to the town that chose her once and left her behind.

As Isaac digs deeper, memory twists into myth, and truth slips beneath the surface like something alive. Their paths spiral inward toward a revelation older than faith, and far more patient.

Some rituals never end.

Some sacrifices were never meant to be remembered.

And some bodies never forgot they were part of the song.

What if you were never meant to leave the circle?

Each book carries a cryptic letter in its title. Read to the end, and you may glimpse what it truly stands for. Together, they form a haunting tapestry bound by one truth: the dead never rest quietly.
