Beneath a drought-stricken orchard in rural Texas, something ancient is unearthed-bones, layered through centuries, each marked with unsettling precision. Disgraced forensic archaeologist Cassidy Vale is called to investigate. What begins as a scientific puzzle soon draws her into the shadows of a town steeped in secrets-where power, silence, and history run deep. The deeper Cassidy digs, the more she risks becoming part of the very mystery she came to solve. Atmospheric, intelligent, and haunting, The Bone Orchard is a Southern Gothic thriller about guilt, legacy, and the truths we choose to bury.
