[Available on Amazon Kindle] Some places heal. Others haunt.
When a group of emotionally scarred students retreats to a secluded, centuries-old mansion in the mountains of Marya Luisa, they expect healing, reflection, and rest. But the moment they cross its threshold, the air thickens-heavy with secrets, restless shadows, and something that watches in silence.
As the nights grow colder and the silence deepens, strange events begin to fracture their reality. Each student carries a past, but the retreat house bears one of its own-dark, violent, and desperate to be remembered.
At Don Boscu, healing comes at a price-and sometimes, the only way out is through the memories the walls refuse to bury.
