Every year, Willowfen lights the candles.
Every year, the village repeats the promise.
And every year, no one asks why.
When Elara returns to Willowfen after her aunt's death, she expects quiet days, familiar faces, and old memories.
Instead, she finds herself drawn into the village's oldest tradition—a candle ceremony woven into Willowfen' s history for generations.
But the deeper Elara looks, the less the stories seem to fit.
Old records hold strange silences.
Longtime villagers remember things differently.
And someone doesn't seem happy about her questions.
With Quill, the clever cat who has an uncanny talent for turning up wherever secrets are hiding, at her side, Elara begins following a trail of forgotten stories and half-remembered promises.
As the annual candle ceremony draws closer, Elara realizes that Willowfen' s oldest tradition may be guarding a secret no one wants remembered.
What happened all those years ago?
And why does it feel as though the village is waiting for someone to remember?
Because in Willowfen...
The candles remember.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
