Sanctuary of Shadows

When sixteen-year-old Iris reluctantly agrees to join her friends on a hike through the woods, she expects boredom, blisters, and maybe a few sarcastic quips to get her through the day. What she doesn't expect is to stumble upon a forgotten church in the middle of nowhere-a building untouched by time yet teeming with an inexplicable darkness.

At first, the group is drawn in by curiosity, but the deeper they explore, the more unsettling the church becomes. Uneasy whispers, eerie smells, and strange visions plague Iris, leaving her questioning her sanity. But when her friends begin disappearing, taken by an unspeakable creature lurking in the shadows, it becomes clear this place is more than just haunted-it's alive.

Trapped inside with no way out, tensions flare, secrets unravel, and fear morphs into paranoia. As the church's sinister grip tightens, Iris must confront her past encounters with the supernatural and rally the others-if they don't tear each other apart first.

In a place where reality warps and survival is far from guaranteed, one question lingers: Can they escape the church before it consumes them all?

Prepare for a chilling descent into madness, betrayal, and the unknown in this psychological horror that will haunt you long after the final page.
