THE SHALLOWEST GRAVE

Seventeen-year-old Sophie Miller has always been invisible. Overlooked at school. Forgotten at home. Ignored by a town that only celebrates its golden boys.

Until the night they decide to notice her.

When Tyler Hale—the sheriff’s son—and his friends drag Sophie into the Blackwood Thicket, what begins as a cruel joke spirals into violence. They leave her buried in a shallow grave, convinced their secret will stay hidden beneath two feet of frozen earth.

But Sophie doesn’t stay buried.

Something in the forest refuses to let her die. When she claws her way back to the surface, she is no longer the quiet girl who tried to disappear. She is cold. Changed. Awake. The woods whisper to her. The town’s secrets hum beneath her skin. And the boys who thought they were untouchable are about to learn that some graves are too shallow to hold the truth.

As Blackwood rallies to search for the “missing girl,” Sophie walks its streets unseen, hunting the five who tried to erase her. Guilt fractures their brotherhood. Fear seeps into their homes. And the sheriff will do anything to protect his son—even if it means burying the truth again.

Dark, relentless, and razor-sharp, The Shallowest Grave is a haunting thriller about power, silence, and what happens when the forgotten refuse to stay dead
