A falling tree. A forgotten name. A fight for survival.
Brody came to the mountain for peace-quiet mornings, honest work, and a simpler life. But when a routine tree clearing turns chaotic and he discovers an injured man beneath a crushed tent, everything changes. The stranger can't remember who he is... only that he might be named Ellis.
Taking Ellis to the homestead to recover seems like the right thing to do-until masked men ambush them on the road. With no memory and no clear reason anyone would want him dead, Ellis clings to Brody as his one constant. His North Star.
Desperate to uncover Ellis's identity, the two follow a trail of fragmented memories and buried clues-only to find themselves tangled in something far older and more dangerous than they expected. The deeper they dig, the more it becomes clear: someone will do anything to keep them from unearthing the past.
When the earth literally shifts beneath their feet, revealing a hidden tunnel beneath the homestead, Brody and Ellis descend into the darkness-where answers might finally be waiting... and so is the threat that's been hunting them all along.
Is Ellis just a lost man with a shattered past... or the key to something much bigger?
And in the heart of danger, can Brody protect more than just Ellis's life?
