synopsis:

Between the Birches: Awakening, the first installment in a thrilling new adult, dark romance, folk horror trilogy, plunges you into a world where magic is as real as the love that binds, monsters lurk in the shadows, and nightmares bleed into reality. 

Beneath the rolling hills of Western North Carolina, an ancient evil stirs, shackled for millennia yet yearning for freedom. As malevolent forces conspire to unleash this darkness, only two souls stand between salvation and destruction. 

Newlyweds Beth and Tom Newman, along with their best friend Grady Cooper, retreat to the tranquil Appalachian Mountains hoping for a serene getaway. A surprise reunion with old friends soon spirals into a terrifying race against time, transforming Beth's twenty-fifth birthday into a chilling memory she'd rather forget.
