"I leaned into fear, and it became a delicious hunger I could not deny."
Anaya came to London chasing dreams of light - a girl from an orphanage with nothing but courage, a sketchbook, and the hope of becoming someone. But London didn't welcome her with stars. It gave her shadows.
She meets Luca, the charming professor who sees her differently. His warmth feels safe, his eyes speak the language of care - but every fairytale has its ending.
Because someone else has been watching her.
A stranger in the dark.
A name she doesn't know.
A presence that feels too close, too real.
What she doesn't see are the invisible strings pulling her life apart - threads of love, lust, and madness all leading back to her.
A father and son bound by obsession.
A woman whose love is sharper than any blade.
And when Luca's lifeless body is found one morning, Anaya's world collapses into silence - the kind that hides secrets too dangerous to speak.
Now every reflection feels like a pair of eyes. Every knock sounds like a warning.
Because in the city of dreams, someone is still watching.
And they'd burn the world just to keep her.
A dark romance of desire, obsession, and a love that tastes like sin.
