About this ebook
When Cora Wren answers an advertisement for a room in an elegant Victorian home, it feels like the escape she's been desperate for.
A quiet neighborhood.
A grieving widow who welcomes her like family.
A charming housemate who asks surprisingly few questions.
It seems too good to be true.
Because it is.
Cora didn't choose this house by accident.
She came looking for answers.
Hidden behind locked doors, faded photographs, and whispered conversations is a truth someone has spent years trying to bury. Every room holds another secret. Every smile hides another lie. And every night, the house feels a little less like a home... and a little more like a trap.
Then the widow looks into Cora's eyes and quietly says,
"You look exactly like my daughter."
The daughter who supposedly died years ago.
As buried memories begin to surface and terrifying discoveries shatter everything Cora thought she knew about herself, she realizes the greatest danger isn't the house.
It's the reason she was brought there.
Because someone has been waiting for her.
And once the truth is revealed...
Leaving may no longer be possible.
