When Evelyn Ward inherits her family's forgotten estate, she only wants to sell the land and leave its ghosts behind. But the orchard surrounding the old house is not dead-it's waiting. Beneath its soil sleep generations of women bound to a secret harvest, their voices humming in the roots, their dreams fermenting in the wine cellar below. As Evelyn unearths her family's past-through photographs, diaries, and the cryptic warnings of a reclusive gardener-she discovers the orchard feeds on more than rain and sunlight. It remembers. It hungers. And once a year, it calls for the Keeper to return. From award-winning dark fiction author Claire Whitmore comes a haunting, gothic saga of blood, memory, and rebirth. The Orchard of Bones blends lyrical horror with mythic tragedy, exploring how love, grief, and legacy take root in the soil-and what happens when the world itself begins to dream. The orchard keeps what it loves. And it loves you.
