The Whispered Breaths of Cable Mill. The Hauntings of the Smoky Mountains, #8

When aspiring journalist Hannah Foster ventures into the quiet, mist-laden valley of Cades Cove, she seeks only the charm of its history for her next feature story. But an innocent visit to the old Cable Mill turns sinister when she unknowingly awakens an ancient and malevolent spirit. As darkness follows her every step, Hannah realizes she may not escape this spectral predator alone. Enter Luke Reed, a brooding yet kind-hearted local with his own haunting tale.
Twelve years earlier, he encountered the same ruthless entity; and barely survived. Drawn together by shared fear and courage, the pair discovers the entity's origins lie deep in the land's troubled past, rooted in secrets long buried. Desperate for answers, Hannah and Luke seek the guidance of Samuel Two Feather, a wise Cherokee elder who knows the history of these lands better than anyone. Together, they face a daunting task: to banish the vengeful spirit before it binds Hannah and Luke to its realm forever.
