Two years ago, Julia lost her family in a tragic accident. Her husband drowned trying to save their daughter, Lily, in the river near their rural home. But the little girl’s body was never found—and Julia believes Lily is somehow still alive. Alone and broke, Julia opens her house as a writers’ retreat. One of the first guests is Lucas, a horror novelist, who becomes obsessed with finding out what happened to Lily.

When Lucy's mother dies unexpectedly, a mysterious Viking tattoo points to Arcania. Desperate for answers, Lucy books a stay at the retreat. At first, the mansion's eerie charm and its enigmatic owner, Cora Medville, seem harmless. But as whispers of a sordid past emerge, Lucy realises Arcania hides a deadly secret – and she might be its next victim. Decades earlier. Runaway Cora finds refuge in Arcania and falls under the spell of its charismatic owner, Harlan.
