The Bloodroot House: 1

Clara Wren drove into the wrong kind of quiet. Sent to claim her grandmother's house on Barrow Ridge, she expects dust and solitude. Instead, she finds a place that arranges its own light: shutters closed like lids, a hallway stitched with carved warnings, and a single brass key that smells of cedar and old vows. The town remembers the Red Women in the trees and a ledger that never lets names go; the house remembers more-messages pressed beneath wallpaper, a locked room that answers with a knock, and a word carved into the floor that tastes like blood.As a storm pulls the woods tight and the third moon nears, Clara must decide whether to follow the family script-seal what waits-or unpick the generations that feed it. Each discovery tightens the house's grip; every night, whispers knot together until they name her. Will she keep the promise written in her blood, or break the pact and risk whatever the house keeps hungry?
