[NOTE: This is an excerpt. The complete version is exclusively available on Galatea.]

"I remember when I was young, my grandmother used to tell me stories about Al Nadaha. That stunningly beautiful woman who waits by The Nile for the unfortunate souls who dare to wander there at night. She would call them by their first name in an alluring and hypnotizing soft voice, and they follow it to the river where they would meet their dreadful fates."

Layla Al-Masry is a pharmacist with the hope to be a successful writer. She writes short horror stories and articles about supernatural creatures in a renowned magazine. One day, the chief editor asks her to write an article about Al Nadaha; that urban legend that used to terrorize generations.

Layla starts digging for information with the help of a journal she found, but she never imagined that it could lead to so many horrifying incidents.
