When Alex Morgan's brother vanished without a trace, she thought the worst had already happened.
Now it’s October 1998—five months since fifteen-year-old Marcus disappeared walking home from school. Alex has finally returned to her senior year, only to discover her best friend is dating the boy she'd fallen for, and her carefully constructed world is more fractured than ever. But when mysterious notes begin appearing with promises that she'll find Marcus in the cornfields surrounding their small Wisconsin town, Alex must choose between the safety of her grief and the dangerous hope that her brother might still be alive.
As Halloween approaches, Alex uncovers a terrifying pattern: every twenty-five years, teenagers vanish near Archer's Field during the town's Harvest Festival. The last disappearance was in 1973, and the only survivor—now a respected member of the community—claims to remember nothing about that night.
Now Alex must navigate broken friendships, first love, and a terrifying small town urban legend. In a town where the wealthy and powerful will sacrifice anything to protect their own, Alex discovers that some family legacies are secrets for a reason.
