The Fire You Left Behind

Ten years ago, trauma therapist Clara Duvall survived a fire that reduced her childhood home-and her family-to ashes. The cause was ruled accidental. The case was closed. The past, buried. Until now. When Clara begins receiving torn pages from her dead sister's diary-pages that should have burned with her-she's forced to question everything she thought she knew. The entries speak of an imaginary friend named Ash.
A pale boy with black eyes who whispered secrets in the dark. A boy both sisters claimed to see. A boy who wasn't imaginary at all. As Clara reconnects the terrifying pieces of her past, a chilling pattern emerges: someone is setting fires across the city, each victim tied to her therapy sessions. Each blaze is a message. Each death, a punishment. And someone has been watching her for years. Now, to uncover the truth, Clara must return to the ruins of her old life-and confront the whispers that still echo in the walls.
Because the real horror isn't what was buried.It's what never left.
