What happens after dark?

After Dark book cover, The Killing Hours Trilogy, by B. Wills and Yvonne Hamilton Atmospheric cabin and survival horror visual

Audra Cross didn't come for the retreat. She came for answers.

Her brother Rowan disappeared after coming to this secretive survival program. When Audra receives an invitation to the remote Alaskan island, she follows his trail. Then she wakes up in the forest. Alone. Bound.

Something is moving between the trees. Whatever game she's been pulled into has already begun.

Genre: Survival horror / dark thriller. Vibes: The Cabin in the Woods meets Ready or Not and Dead by Daylight—atmospheric comparisons, not official affiliations.

Content advisory: Disappearance, confinement, restraint, pursuit, and violent survival situations. Full notes will accompany the ARC.
