A Gothic nightmare.
In the echoing halls of Shortbury Prison, where medieval stone whispers ancient secrets, Claire thought she knew every dark corner. As a tour guide, she illuminated the past for wide-eyed visitors, never suspecting she'd become entangled in its sinister present.
When her best friend vanishes without a trace, Claire's world begins to unravel. Suspicion clouds her judgment, casting long shadows over Archie, her enigmatic boss—and recent lover. Their ill-fated tryst, born from the ashes of grief after her boyfriend's mysterious demise, now haunts her every step.
As Claire peels back layers of deception, she uncovers a truth more chilling than Shortbury's damp cells: the prison's most dangerous inmate is not just a revenant from beyond the grave, but the father of Rosie—a child so unsettling, her own mother fled in terror. In Rosie's eyes burns a desperate hunger for paternal approval, a flame that threatens to consume all in its path.
Time slips away like sand through an hourglass as Claire races to unearth her friend's fate and quench her thirst for vengeance. But in a place where reality blurs with nightmare, can she trust her own perceptions? Or will she, too, become another ghost in Shortbury's grim history?
In this gothic tale of love, loss, and lurking horror, discover if redemption can be found amidst the ruins of the past—or if some sins are truly unforgivable.
