About this book:

Inheriting Gravesend Estate from a grandmother she barely knew, Isabelle Graves finds her quiet life shattered by mystery and danger. This sprawling country mansion holds more than just dusty heirlooms; it’s a tomb of family secrets, including the decades-old, officially accidental death of her great-aunt Lillian. Drawn into the labyrinthine depths of the house, Isabelle uncovers cryptic clues left by her great-aunt Lydia in hidden journals, hinting at a sinister "silent pact" among her grandmother's closest friends, a hidden fortune, and a truth buried under layers of betrayal.

As Isabelle follows a trail of whispers and hidden passages, from defaced globes to secret rooms, she realizes she's not alone in her search. A mysterious intruder, also seeking Lillian's legacy, adds a terrifying urgency to her quest. With threats escalating and the chilling "LEAVE. OR DIE." note pinned to her door, Isabelle must confront the last living members of the "silent pact"—a ruthless barrister and a reclusive artist—whose false smiles hide decades of complicity.

Navigating a treacherous web of family history, murder, and shocking colonial secrets, Isabelle must decipher the true cost of her inheritance. With the help of loyal, yet complex, allies within Gravesend, she uncovers a truth far darker than she imagined, leading to a dangerous confrontation where the line between hunter and hunted blurs. Ultimately, Isabelle must decide if she is willing to risk everything to expose the devastating 'Requiem for the Forgotten' and break the cycle of betrayal that has haunted Gravesend for generations.
