The Man Who Returned to a Town That Forgot Him, When Aaron Vale returns to his hometown after fifteen years, he expects familiar streets and old memories. Instead, he finds something impossible. The town of Red Hollow has erased him completely. Records are gone, houses have new histories, and no one remembers he ever existed. As Aaron searches for the truth, he uncovers a secret the town has hidden for generations. A nearby river does not forget the people it takes, and when someone remembers them, they return. Now the town must face the lives it erased and the truth it buried for two centuries.
