Chiara Chernova grew up alone, without a family or anyone to claim as her own. Her world was built from books, silence, and the dreams she kept tucked inside her journal. When she earns a scholarship to study Literature at Oxford, it feels like her life is finally opening up. A chance to start again. A chance to belong somewhere.
But Chiara never understood one thing:
Someone had already chosen her.
In the quiet, hidden corners of the place she lived, a presence watched her. Patient. Unseen. Obsessed. As Chiara prepares to step into a new life, the shadows that followed her do not stay behind. They move with her. They linger close. And they are not ready to let her go.
This is a story of quiet love turning into obsession, of loneliness turning into something darker, and of a girl who thought she was alone... until she realizes she never was.
