Griffith Tavern

Griffith Tavern is abandoned, but there's something alive within the crumbling walls and it's been waiting for Taryn, and her alone, for nearly 100 years...

As a former stagecoach inn, Griffith Tavern saw many people come and go and witnessed numerous tragedies and triumphs over the years. Now, the old abandoned building will almost surely be demolished, all in the name of progress. When the Friends of Griffith Tavern hire Taryn to come in and do one last painting she assumes it will be a quick, easy job. She's in desperate need of cash flow and the quaint town and lovely hostess of her B&B appear to be a perfect combination.

But something is watching Taryn, and waiting

...Something that slithers in the dark and clutches at her, even invading her dreams.

Ghost stories about the old inn are few. Indeed, the mistress, Permelia, who ran it alone for almost 50 years was well-respected. Nobody fears Griffith Tavern.

But maybe they should...

In death, Permelia seems to want something from Taryn and she won't let her go until she's made sure Taryn understands. But solving this mystery just cost Taryn her life

Still mourning the death of her fiance and reeling from the events that nearly killed her at Windwood Farm, Taryn struggles to piece together the fragments of the mystery that shroud the old place.

It might be too late to save the spooky old building, but is it too late to save Taryn?
