Calliope never expected to inherit anything from her estranged grandmother, let alone Belle Reve—a crumbling plantation buried deep in the Louisiana bayou. The house has been abandoned for years, haunted by whispers of strange rituals, eerie disappearances, and a sinister force that seems woven into the land itself. Bound by an unsettling clause in the will, she must live in Belle Reve for a year, uncovering its secrets, or risk losing everything.

From the moment she arrives, Calliope feels the house watching her. Shadows move in the corners of her vision, whispers slither through the air, and a presence stirs beneath the floorboards. Guided by cryptic journal entries from her ancestor Seraphina, she uncovers a history of hoodoo, sacrifices, and an ancient force known only as the Serpent’s Eye. But as reality unravels and the line between past and present blurs, Calliope realizes Belle Reve doesn’t just hold secrets—it hungers for them.

With time running out, Calliope must decide: Will she escape Belle Reve’s grip, or will she become another chapter in its dark legacy?
