'Take hope from the heart of man, and you make him a beast of prey.'
As she gazes out at the birds dancing in the sky, memories of Rio tug at her heart, but there's no leisure in her journey. The sky, painted with dark orange hues, casts an ominous glow over the landscape, a deceptive beauty veiling the lurking perils.
Alone aboard the plane, Kayla's nerves fray, her patience waning thin. This wasn't the plan; she was meant for tranquil beaches, not the desolation looming ahead. "Foolish," she mutters, her disdain palpable as she paces the cramped cabin. Her mind reels, questioning the absurdity of her mission.
Ethereal Island, they called it. But there's nothing ethereal about the danger stalking her. Hungry and exhausted, she feels the presence of her pursuer, a primal force seeking to claim her as his own. Will she endure, or succumb to the primal desires that threaten to consume her?
Embrace the darkness, for within it lies the thrilling tale of survival and forbidden desire. Venture forth into the depths of Ethereal Island, where every step could be your last, and discover if Kayla can defy the odds and emerge unscathed from the clutches of her primal predator.
