"....it does naught, but grow,
Feasting on my sorrow."
Hoffnung, Germany.
1950
Taylor Soiville, an accomplished businessman, travels to the beautiful city of Hoffnung, Germany, with his soon-to-be wife Anne Soiville, in order to check on his mill, which was reported to be on hiatus for no appropriate reason. After arriving at Hoffnung and finding no place to stay, the couple takes shelter at Gührich Manor, the mansion of the late Klaus Gührich, a renowned commander, who fought in the war. Little did he know, that the stay would cost him his fiancee, his sanity, and most probably,
His life.
Discover how "trust" plays a pivoting role in all stories : in trifling the human mind, playing with the human soul, and most of all, destroying the human conscience.
Elizabeth Bell can't escape her past. No matter what she does: changing her name or her looks. It's her handsome ex-husbands face on a magazine that haunts her every day. The nightmares of her past continue to torment her, and it gets worse when she comes face to face with the devil himself.

"You don't have a girlfriend right now."
"That's right," Blake said sounding bored.
"Everyone is wondering if that's because you aren't over your ex-wife, Elizabeth Bell."
When he said that I froze. The last thing I wanted from this interview was for him to bring up my past life.
Although I changed my name to Rose Matthews, I still freeze every time someone mentions that name. I try so hard to forget my past before I was Rose but when you have so many people constantly bringing it up you can't escape it.
Blake's answer brought me back to the present.
"No! Honestly, I was glad to be out of that marriage. It was a burden, constantly having to be married to her. I don't have a girlfriend because I want to be able to enjoy the single life for a while. Since I was tied to someone for so long, I just want to have some freedom in my life." He said honestly.
I felt France and Jay each grab my hand. I felt my heart break again. I didn't think that was possible. My heart is already broken into a million pieces and somehow he was able to break it even more...

Can Elizabeth and Blake learn to love each other again? Or will their past catch up to them?
