A Grief That Crosses Worlds
Roe’s world shattered the day her twin sister died. The bond they shared was more than blood—it was a silent conversation, a shared heartbeat. Now, alone and adrift, she flees to the rugged west coast of Ireland, seeking solace in the wild beauty of County Kerry. But the ancient hotel where she finds work holds more than dusty rooms and whispered legends. A ledger, hidden for centuries, reveals a truth that will unravel everything: Roe is not just a grieving sister, but a key to a forgotten world called Ruhaven. The ledger’s pages pulse with memories not her own, and the more she reads, the more she realizes her sister’s death was no accident. Someone—or something—is hunting those who remember Ruhaven. And Roe is next.
The Ledger’s Secret
The ledger is no ordinary book. Its pages are alive with the memories of those who once walked Ruhaven, a world lost to time. Only a rare few can witness these memories, and Roe is one of them. As she traces her fingers over the ink, she sees glimpses of a land where magic and danger intertwine. But the ledger is also a curse. Each memory she unlocks brings her closer to the truth—and to the entity that silenced her sister. The question haunts her: Why her? Why now?
The Exile’s Warning
Bryn Stornoway is a man with a past he can’t outrun. Exiled from Ruhaven, he’s spent years hiding in plain sight, guarding the ledger and the secrets it holds. When Roe stumbles into his life, he recognizes the danger immediately. She’s the first twin ever born in the ledger’s history, and that makes her a target. Bryn knows the rules: no attachments, no exceptions. But Roe’s determination and the fire in her eyes make it impossible to turn away. Protecting her means risking his own fragile redemption.
Memories That Kill
The memories in the ledger are more than echoes—they’re weapons. Those who witness them too deeply risk losing themselves, or worse, attracting the attention of Ruhaven’s darkest inhabitants. Roe’s sister was the first victim. Now, Roe is seeing things no one else can: shadows that move on their own, voices that whisper her name. The ledger is a door, and something is knocking.
A Forbidden Attraction
Bryn and Roe shouldn’t be drawn to each other. Ruhaven’s laws are clear: relationships between those who remember and those who guard are forbidden. But as they work together to unravel the ledger’s mysteries, the line between duty and desire blurs. Bryn’s touch is the only thing that grounds Roe when the memories threaten to consume her. But love in Ruhaven is a luxury neither can afford—especially when it could cost them their lives.
The Twin’s Legacy
Roe’s sister left behind clues, hidden in the margins of the ledger. Each one points to a truth that could shatter Ruhaven’s curse. But the deeper Roe digs, the more she realizes her sister wasn’t just a victim—she was a warrior. And whatever killed her is still out there, waiting for Roe to make a mistake.
The Curse of the First Twin
Twin births are unheard of in Ruhaven. Roe’s existence is an anomaly, a threat to the balance of both worlds. The ledger reveals that twins are destined to either save Ruhaven or doom it. Roe’s sister chose to fight. Now, Roe must decide: will she run, or will she step into the legacy her sister left behind?
The Hotel’s Dark Heart
The hotel in County Kerry isn’t just a refuge—it’s a prison. Built on a ley line that connects to Ruhaven, its walls hum with latent magic. The staff whisper about disappearances, about guests who check in but never leave. Roe begins to suspect the hotel is more than a hiding place—it’s a trap. And she’s the bait.
Bryn’s Betrayal
Bryn hasn’t been honest. He knows more about Roe’s sister than he’s letting on. When Roe discovers his secrets, trust shatters. But in Ruhaven, betrayal is a survival tactic. Bryn’s silence isn’t cruelty—it’s protection. The truth about her sister’s death could break Roe, and Bryn can’t risk losing her to despair.
The Memory Thief
Someone is stealing memories from the ledger, erasing the past to control the future. Roe and Bryn must find the thief before their own memories become the next target. But the closer they get, the more they realize the thief isn’t working alone. Ruhaven’s curse is spreading, and time is running out.
The Laws of Ruhaven
Ruhaven’s laws are absolute: those who remember must never love, never trust, never reveal the truth. Bryn broke the first rule the moment he met Roe. Now, he’s breaking them all. But love in Ruhaven is a death sentence, and the price of defiance is higher than either of them imagined.
The Shadow in the Ledger
The ledger isn’t just a record—it’s a living thing. And it’s watching Roe. The more she reads, the more the ledger changes, rewriting itself to hide the truth. Roe must outsmart it before she becomes another forgotten story.
The Twin’s Last Message
Roe’s sister left her one final memory, hidden where only she could find it. It’s a warning: the entity hunting them isn’t from Ruhaven. It’s from Earth. And it’s been here far longer than anyone realizes.
The Exile’s Redemption
Bryn’s exile wasn’t a punishment—it was a sacrifice. He gave up his place in Ruhaven to protect the ledger, to keep the memories safe. But Roe’s arrival changes everything. For the first time, he has a reason to fight for his place in both worlds. But redemption comes at a price, and Bryn isn’t sure he’s willing to pay it.
The Forgotten War
Ruhaven didn’t just fade away—it was erased. The ledger holds the key to restoring it, but doing so would unleash a war that could destroy both worlds. Roe and Bryn must decide: is saving Ruhaven worth the cost?
The Memory Keeper
Roe isn’t just witnessing memories—she’s becoming one. The ledger is rewriting her, turning her into a vessel for Ruhaven’s past. If she doesn’t break free, she’ll lose herself forever. But the only way out is through, and the path is lined with the ghosts of those who came before her.
The Twin’s Choice
Roe’s sister didn’t die—she chose. She gave her life to seal Ruhaven’s curse, to buy Roe time. Now, Roe must make the same choice: seal the curse forever, or risk everything to bring Ruhaven back.
The Final Memory
The ledger’s last page holds the truth about Ruhaven’s fall. But reading it will erase Roe’s own memories, leaving her a blank slate. Bryn can’t let her do it. But Roe is done running. She’ll face the past, even if it means forgetting her future.
The Minor Fall
The title isn’t just a name—it’s a prophecy. The minor fall is the moment Ruhaven’s curse began. And it’s happening again. Roe and Bryn stand at the precipice, their love the only thing holding both worlds together. But love isn’t enough. They need a miracle.
Before It Finds Them
The entity is coming. The ledger is calling. Roe and Bryn have one chance to rewrite the past and save the future. But the cost is everything they’ve ever known. Will they let Ruhaven fall, or will they become the legends the ledger was always meant to remember?
