What if your greatest love became your most dangerous delusion?
Dr. Alistair Thorne had it all: a brilliant career, a steady hand, and Elara - the luminous fiancée who was his entire world. Then, in one brutal night, she was taken from him by five privileged monsters.
His mind shattered. For three years, he's been the perfect patient in a mental institution, seemingly cured. But Alistair has a secret. She never left.
Hallucination-Elara is his constant companion - his lover, his confidante, his only reason to breathe. And she wants revenge.
Now released, Alistair will use his surgeon's precision to dismantle the lives of those who destroyed his. One by one. Cut by cut. With his phantom love guiding his hand, the line between genius and madness blurs.
But as his bloody masterpiece unfolds, a terrifying question remains: Is he avenging his lost love... or feeding the beautiful delusion that now owns his soul?
