n the quiet woods of 1928 Connecticut, Ogre Lake is whispered about with fear-a place said to harbor a monster along its shadowed shores.
Carina Raison does not believe in legends. Seeking solitude after her life fractures at a crossroads, she retreats to the wilderness near the lake-only to encounter a man bound to the land by a curse he cannot escape. Jeremiah is no monster by choice, but a sorcerer trapped by a spell born of grief, rage, and a brother's fatal mistake.
Ten years ago, that mistake destroyed everything.
Now the restless ghost of Isaiah, Jeremiah's younger brother, haunts former detective Cawdron Darois, demanding truth, reckoning, and release. When a series of unsettling deaths shakes the nearby town, Cawdron is drawn into a mystery where murder, magic, and the past entwine inescapably.
As love takes root and the dead refuse to remain silent, long-buried secrets rise from the depths. Breaking the curse may require confronting guilt that has waited a decade for judgment-and accepting that some wounds can never fully heal.
Ogre Lake is a gaslamp-inspired paranormal mystery of quiet dread and aching beauty-where grief lingers, love defies reason, and redemption exacts a heavy cost.
