Luther Harrow

Intro When people talk about Luther Harrow, they always say he takes after his father: grumpy, stern, and closed off to the world. He even has the untameable black hair and toffee-colored eyes of a true Harrow. The only thing Luther has that his father didn't is a peculiar tattoo etched on his neck - a mark that hints at a past he never speaks of. Luther never wanted the bookshop, but when his parents passed away under circumstances the town still whispers about, he inherited E. Harrow & Co. Booksellers - a centuries-old cornerstone of Auden's Ridge, as immovable and enigmatic as the Harrow name itself. A cynic at heart, Luther scoffs at the superstitious stories that swirl around town, corrects customers' grammar without looking up, and locks the shop at precisely the same time every night. Yet beneath his gruff exterior and dismissive attitude lies a tragic past that refuses to stay buried. But can anyone get past the walls he's built around himself?
