Where Shadows Wait

Mara Córdova moves into a new apartment, only to be haunted by an alarm that chimes every night at precisely 3:32 a.m., pulling her into unsettling dreams of endless hallways, forgotten relics, and shadowed figures. Her search for answers leads her to the story of Rosa and Eva Castillo, the last victims of an ancient curse that traps souls one by one, feeding off those who stray too far into the darkness. As Mara unravels the curse's secrets, she realizes too late that her fate is sealed-forever bound to the shadows that claimed the Castillos before her.
