Emily & the town of Everspring
Emily grew up among old books in her parents' bookstore. Her grandfather vanished while exploring the tunnels beneath a town — a mystery that never left her. When she arrives in Everspring, she doesn't yet know that this journey will change everything she believes about herself and her family.
Beneath Everspring's quiet streets simmer old grudges, forgotten secrets and passages that lead into the unknown. Every building, resident and object is a piece of a larger picture.
“Somewhere in the dust of old pages lies a truth waiting to be found.”
