"A suspenseful story of buried trauma, female friendship, and the cost of secrets."— Kirkus Reviews
From USA Today bestselling author Melissa F. Miller comes a haunting psychological thriller about two women trapped by a storm, tormented by the past, and desperate to survive the present.
A stay in a remote cabin is supposed to help Emily Rose finish her book—a feminist retelling of a fairytale about a princess and her lady-in-waiting imprisoned in a tower. Instead, it becomes the setting for a reckoning seven years in the making.
Emily has spent years hiding her trauma from the night she found her roommate murdered. When her husband, Tristan, arranges a writing retreat for her, she meets Alex, the owner of the isolated property and a woman with secrets of her own—including one that threatens to destroy Emily's marriage.
Trapped by a fierce storm and haunted by echoes of past violence, the women encounter a series of unnerving events—a watcher in the woods, a smashed cell phone, slashed tires. Their only hope will be to work together to rescue themselves from a very real, present danger.
Interspersed with passages of The Tower, Emily's work-in-progress, Cut Off from Sky and Earth is a chilling exploration of the weight of memory, the burden of trauma, and the courage it takes to break free.
For readers of psychological suspense, feminist thrillers, and literary mysteries with a dark fairy tale edge.
