Three friends-Knox, Ivana, and Olivier-share an intense bond, one where loyalty and betrayal spiral into tragedy. Knox and Ivana, having grown up together, recently evolved their friendship into a passionate romance, understanding each other's deepest desires. Ivana, with her fascination for black magic, potion-making, and fortune-telling, will go to any length to protect her love. Meanwhile, Olivier finds solace in Greek philosophy and science, and Knox is captivated by Shakespeare and theater. This story explores the darkness of obsession, the fragility of loyalty, and the inevitable unraveling of friendships when love, jealousy, and ambition collide.
"One evening, Ivana whispered to herself that she would do anything to protect the life she and Knox had built. In that quiet moment, her reflection in the glass caught her off guard; her face looked distant, unfamiliar. Still, she pushed the thought away, her fingers tracing over a vial of dark liquid she'd prepared with an unsteady hand."
