The past whispers. He just started listening.

Jacob Machado's life looks perfect on the outside-steady job, loving wife, close friends-but something is missing. When he acquires a cursed twelfth-century axe once wielded by an ancestor, he's pulled into a haunting search for identity and legacy. As visions blur past and present, Jacob must choose: break the curse and lose his connection to history, or complete the oath and risk losing himself. But some legacies don't want to be buried.

Step into this haunting and richly imagined debut, a psychological fantasy about family legacy, genealogy, forgotten history, and the weight of the stories we inherit. Perfect for readers of The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue and The Midnight Library.
