Tethered Heart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295674327)

Evelyn Rusk survived eighteen years on the Other Side. She crossed back into Briar Hollow believing the nightmare ended with her return.

She was wrong.

Now living inside the Briar Hollow Museum of the Unseen, Evelyn discovers that something followed-not in body, but in structure. An invisible tether pulses inside her chest, and the land itself responds to her heartbeat. When gravity buckles, glass lifts, and strangers begin speaking in borrowed voices, her family realizes the fracture between worlds was never sealed. It was extended.

As dimensional pressure spreads through limestone foundations and basements across town, Rowan and Maeve must choose each other under escalating horror, transforming fear into defiance. But severing the tether may collapse Briar Hollow entirely-and leaving it intact may turn the town into a permanent bridge.

The Harvester does not invade.

It inhabits.

It measures.

It builds.

And Evelyn was never meant to escape.

Tethered Heart is a gothic psychological horror about love under cosmic pressure, generational fracture, and the devastating cost of becoming infrastructure for something vast, patient, and inevitable.
