What Remains
Deep beneath an Appalachian antique shop lies a cellar where dangerous objects are bound by salt, scripture, and the old mountain ways. Granny witch Bessie Parsons has spent her life standing watch over what sleeps there. She knows the healing ways of herb and root, reads the memories held in objects, and contains the things that should never see daylight again.
When a carousel piece arrives carrying something ancient and hungry, it reaches out to seven-year-old Raven Jenkins—a child who hears shadows and may be the only one who can inherit Bessie’s gift. But Bessie is dying. And the thing in the carousel has been patient for a very long time.
What Remains is a novel about the cost of protection, the weight of legacy, and what we’re willing to sacrifice for the people we’re called to save.
