In the seemingly tranquil town of Maple Hollow, beneath the picturesque charm and tight-knit community spirit, lies a web of ancient secrets and hidden dangers. When seventeen-year-old Ellie Hawthorne returns to her hometown after years away, she quickly realizes that Maple Hollow is not as idyllic as it appears.
Ellie, with her fiery red hair and a keen sense for the unseen, discovers that she is connected to a long lineage of Guardians-protectors who use their knowledge of the old ways to maintain the balance of mystical energies that converge beneath the town. But as Ellie steps into her inheritance, she finds that the shadows whispered about in her family's tales are very real and threatening to break through the weakening Veil that holds them back.
Compelled to protect her town and uncover the reasons behind her mother's mysterious disappearance years ago, Ellie must navigate ancient rituals, unearth long-buried secrets, and form uneasy alliances with former adversaries.

With each festival and full moon, as the ley lines that cross beneath the sleepy streets awaken, Ellie and her band of new-found allies and old family friends face the encroaching darkness. Will Ellie manage to fulfill her role as a Guardian, or will the darkness hidden beneath Maple Hollow consume everything she loves?
