The Orchard Keeper’s Lie: Some truths were meant to rot

**You don’t bury the truth.

You plant it.**

Fifteen years ago, a fire tore through an orchard on the edge of a forgotten town. A child died. The town agreed it was an accident.

Eva Thorne knows better.

When an anonymous letter summons her back to Gravenmoor, she discovers the orchard has not forgotten—and it has not forgiven. Bones surface where ash should be. Faces return that should not exist. And a Keeper still walks the rows, tending to what was buried alive.

As Eva digs deeper, she uncovers the truth the town chose to hide: the orchard does not take victims.

It takes replacements.

And it always collects what it is owed.

The Orchard Keeper’s Lie is a dark psychological novella about guilt, memory, and the cost of survival—where silence feeds something ancient, and remembering may be the most dangerous act of all.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

Literary horror & dark suspense

Small-town secrets

Psychological dread over jump scares

Short, haunting reads that linger long after the final page

📖 A standalone dark novella (approximately 70 pages).

Some places don’t stay buried. They wait.
