    In 1852 Switzerland, Sophia von Weissendorf lives a life of elegance, obligation, and carefully managed expectations. Yet her nights are haunted by dreams she never speaks of-dreams of crimson eyes watching her from a darkness that feels strangely familiar. Instead of fear, the eyes fill her with an inexplicable sense of comfort, as though they belong to someone who has known her far longer than her short life allows. When Sophia's brother, Herman, returns from his business travels, he brings home an ancient, weatherworn book titled The Chronicle of the Crimson Damned. Intrigued, Sophia reads the legend within: a Roman general, famed for his brilliance, once refused to marry a powerful witch. In retaliation, she cursed him with eternal life, condemning him to walk the earth alone, his once-human gaze transformed into unmistakable crimson. The curse promised only one escape-he would be freed by a woman he would not recognize, born in a century he could not foresee, whose arrival would mark the end of his loneliness. Sophia dismisses the tale as superstition... until Herman invites his new business partner to stay at their lakeside manor. The moment the guest arrives, Sophia's world shifts. The man who steps from the carriage carries the same crimson eyes that have filled her dreams for years. And when his gaze meets hers, disbelief and recognition flicker across his face-an ancient familiarity that defies explanation. As Sophia attempts to maintain her composure within the boundaries of polite society, she is drawn into a mystery that reaches far beyond the salons and ballrooms of Zurich. The truth becomes impossible to ignore: her dreams were not mere illusions, the legend is no myth, and the crimson-eyed stranger has been searching for her across centuries. But salvation is never simple-and breaking an immortal curse may demand a price neither of them is prepared to face.

    Vala, the elder twin by mere minutes, stood as the protective shield between her naive sister Dotty and the cruel whims of their circus master, Mr. Mint. Behind his charming, eccentric facade, Mr. Mint hid a sinister nature, exploiting the sisters' talents for his own twisted desires. Vala's keen intuition always sensed the danger lurking beneath Mr. Mint's sugary smile, while Dotty's innocence made her vulnerable to his manipulations. But Vala's own world was now unraveling. Haunting nightmares and visions plagued her, featuring a mysterious twin who mirrored her and Dotty's identical features. The phantom twin's desperate cries for help echoed in Vala's mind, leaving her with an unsettling sense of foreboding. As Vala's grip on reality began to slip, her usually flawless contortionist performances suffered. She stumbled, lost focus, and made uncharacteristic mistakes. The pressure mounted, and Vala wondered: Was she losing her grip on sanity, or was something more sinister at play? With each passing night, the visions intensified. The unknown twin's pleas grew louder, more urgent. Vala became convinced that this mysterious sibling was in grave danger, and that their connection was more than just a product of her fevered imagination. Determined to unravel the mystery, Vala began to investigate the depths of Mr. Mint's twisted circus. She scoured the shadows, seeking answers to the questions swirling in her mind: Who was this phantom twin? What did she want from Vala? And what secrets lay hidden beneath the circus's glittering facade? As Vala delved deeper into the darkness, she risked exposing the very evil she sought to escape. Would she find the truth, or would Mr. Mint's sinister games consume her completely?
