In a town where secrets rot beneath the surface like old tree roots, Abigail Winters knows too well what it means to be silenced. At Jefferson High, she walks the halls like a ghost-unseen, unheard, and unprotected. When a trusted coach crosses the line and no one believes her, Abigail does what no one else dares: she fights back. But in Millfield, the truth is a dangerous thing, and girls like Abby don't get second chances-they get sent away.
Now exiled to Lament Academy, a grim boarding school hidden deep in the woods, Abigail is forced to navigate a world governed by rules, reputations, and whispered legends. But there's something strange about Lament-something ancient and watching. As the line between reality and nightmare blurs, Abigail must confront not only the people who failed her but a darkness that has been waiting far longer than she's been alive.
Part psychological thriller, part Southern Gothic survival tale, Abigail's Curse is a haunting story of betrayal, buried trauma, and the resilience it takes to rise when the world tries to break you. Sometimes the most dangerous curse is the one no one believes.
