For as long as she can remember, Iris has felt an unsettling presence in her life-shadows in the corners of her vision, the eerie sensation of being watched, the creeping paranoia that someone is always just beyond her reach. But she's always brushed it off as stress, coincidence, or just an overactive imagination. After all, she's just a normal 23-year-old college student trying to juggle college, work, and a child. Right?
Wrong.
The truth shatters her reality overnight. She's not just being watched-she's been chosen. Marked from the moment she was born. And the ones who have been observing her? They've been waiting for the right moment to reveal themselves. But the biggest question isn't who they are. It's why.
Why her? Why now? And, most terrifying of all... what do they want from her?
The deeper she digs, the more horrifying the truth becomes. Her past isn't what she thought it was. Her future isn't hers to control. And the voices in the dark? They're not going away. Because once you've been chosen, there's no way out.
❝I've been falling every day
since I first met you.❞
stolen glances,
hushed whispers,
teasing breaths,
lingering touches.
