The Girl From Modern: Book One of The Girl From Modern Trilogy

Hi. I’m Willow Summer. I’m sixteen, freshly orphaned, and currently following an escape plan my mum installed in my brain like a survival app.

The rules?
Grab a pre-paid ticket.
Find a train station that isn’t on any map.
Board a “ghost train.”
Get off at Blackthorn and live with my possibly mythical Aunt Ma in a village that may or may not exist.

Totally normal.

It always sounded like paranoia with a side of horror-movie energy. Then Mum died—and suddenly the only thing I had left was the plan.

So now I’m on a train to nowhere, heading for a town that doesn’t want to be found and an aunt I’m not convinced is fully human.

If Mum was protecting me, amazing.
If she wasn’t?

Well. That’s awkward.

The Girl From Modern is a dark, atmospheric coming-of-age thriller about secrets, survival, and the stories we’re raised to believe.
