Book Overview

A one-of-a-kind novel that grapples with the supernatural mysteries of life, death, and human connection—this unprecedented collaboration brings together the globally bestselling author of The Notebook and the acclaimed writer-director of The Sixth Sense.

When New York architect Tate Donovan travels to Cape Cod to design a summer home for his best friend, he’s seeking a fresh start after a difficult period marked by depression and the loss of his sister, Sylvia. Her final confession—that she could see spirits still lingering in the world—haunts Tate, a man who trusts reason over the unexplained.

But everything changes when he checks into a historic bed-and-breakfast and meets Wren, a mysterious young woman who challenges his rational worldview. As a powerful connection sparks between them, Tate begins to uncover dark secrets hidden beneath the surface of Wren’s seemingly peaceful small-town life—secrets rooted in envy, betrayal, and fear.

To protect Wren and himself, Tate must unravel the truth about her past. But doing so may force him to confront his own beliefs about life, love, and the invisible forces that bind us. A story that is as emotionally resonant as it is hauntingly suspenseful, this novel explores the frightening yet transformative power of love—and the enduring mysteries that lie just beyond the edge of reason.
