Publisher's Synopsis
Wounds That Never Heal
In the hauntingly isolated mountain village of Elmsford, Chris Davenport, a battle-hardened war veteran, seeks peace from the scars of his past. Returning to his childhood home, he hopes that solitude will heal his fractured soul. But the village that once seemed peaceful is now shrouded in darkness, harboring more than just his own memories.
The villagers are terrified of the night, whispering of strange figures lurking in the woods and an unspoken curse that has haunted Elmsford for generations. Chris dismisses these fears as superstition-until he begins to see them for himself. Flickers of shadow move between the trees, haunting his every step. Is it his tortured mind playing tricks on him, or is there something more sinister at work?
When people start vanishing without a trace, the thin veil between the known and the unknown begins to unravel. Each disappearance leads Chris deeper into a web of mystery and supernatural terror, forcing him to confront both the horrors of his past and the creeping dread of the present. In his search for answers, he discovers secrets long buried, including an ancient ritual that ties the village's fate to a force beyond comprehension.
As Chris digs deeper, he uncovers unsettling truths about the people he once knew and the dark history that still holds the village in its grip. Old friends become suspects, and his own mind becomes a battleground between logic and the unknown. Alongside Rebecca Hall, a woman whose own tragic loss is intertwined with the village's curse, Chris must face the ghosts of his past-both real and imagined.
With each passing night, the stakes grow higher. The line between reality and nightmare blurs, as Chris must choose whether to confront the malevolent force stalking the village or succumb to the very madness that nearly destroyed him in the war. His journey through Elmsford is a race against time, and in a village where no one is truly safe, the greatest enemy might just be his own mind.
Wounds That Never Heal is a gripping tale of loss, redemption, and the chilling truth that some wounds are too deep to ever truly heal. Blending elements of suspense, mystery, and supernatural horror, this novel explores the psychological toll of war and the haunting power of the past. The perfect read for fans of atmospheric thrillers and psychological drama, this novel will leave you questioning the line between reality and the shadows that lurk just beyond it.
