Short Book Description

When Xylienne marries into the prestigious Hollowmere family, she expects wealth, tradition, and power.

What she finds instead is a house built on silence.

Behind the polished marble halls and candlelit dinners lies a terrifying system of control — hidden cameras, rigid rituals, vanished women, and a bloodline obsessed with perfection. Every room watches her. Every smile conceals a warning. And every daughter-in-law before her seems to have disappeared without a trace.

As Xylienne uncovers the truth buried beneath Hollowmere Estate, fear slowly turns into obsession. Because leaving the family may no longer be possible… and surviving it may cost her identity entirely.

Some families inherit power.

Others manufacture it.
