The Arrival is the first chilling novella in The Fractured Veil series, a psychological suspense saga where memory, identity, and reality collide. When Ash moves into a quiet coastal town for a temporary archivist job, everything seems ordinary at first. The locals are polite, the boarding house strict, the fog thick but familiar. Then come the oddities: A locked door that ticks like a heartbeat. Neighbours who insist Ash has been here before. A friend who vanishes overnight - and a town that swears she never existed. Photographs that show Ash living another life, ten years ago. As paranoia escalates, Ash begins to question not only the town but their own identity. Because in this place, names are shared, memories are borrowed, and copies don't always come back right. Step inside if you dare - but remember the rule: when the house calls your name, don't answer. Perfect for fans of Shutter Island, House of Leaves, and Behind Her Eyes, this novella delivers claustrophobic dread and a twist ending that will haunt you long after the last page.

Born to want and burdened by duty, a young woman labours to keep her motherless household whole, surrendering youth for bread and schooling for her younger kin. When chance draws her into the orbit of the gentry during a season of sport, her wit and quiet strength are observed by one gentleman alone. What follows is a slow unravelling of rank, sacrifice, restraint, and longing-where affection dares not speak, and love must learn courage before it may endure.

A busy café, A single father, A sleepy little girl clutching his hand, And a new neighbor who never meant to stay Andrei wasn't looking for change- not until a shutter opens next door, a French accent drifts into his mornings, and something unfamiliar but not unwelcome settles in. Everything was temporary in Jacques' eyes. Nothing was meant to be permanent-not this town, not the café, and certainly not the man next door. The man he couldn't stop thinking about. It started with an empty glass on the counter and the faint smell of wine that lingered long after. Sober decisions. They didn't call it anything. Just assumed. Some loves arrive slowly, warm and quiet.
