Lucien Faubert, a lonely writer in search of truth, crosses the doors of this cursed circus. What discovers there plunges into a world where humanity is distorting, where madness and suffering mingle in a sinister dance. But by interfering in the world of buffoons, Lucien finds himself faced with his own failing memory, the manipulations of the shadow of ebony and the question that will haunt him: can we escape madness when it has already taken root in the soul?

In this Gothic and horrifying novel, writing is deployed between psychological terror and mystery, where each laugh becomes an echo of human agony and each dance of the buffoons a macabre celebration of suffering. The boundaries between reality and delirium collapse, giving way to a universe where shadows reign, and where even light seems to be an illusion.

Welcome to midnight puppets, an exploration of darkness, manipulation and the quest for redemption. A trip where horror does not reside in what we see, but in what we believe.

Zikora Somadina is a twenty-five-year-old author whose words captivate readers across the world, but behind her quiet brilliance lies a heart far more dangerous than most could ever imagine. Lucien Moon, at twenty-nine, is the enigmatic CEO of a powerful biotech and defense empire. To the world, he is untouchable, a man of precision and power. But to Zikora, he is something else entirely, an obsession, a possession, a secret she has no intention of ever letting go. Their paths first crossed eleven years ago, and fate bound them together again three years ago. Through what began as a business partnership. But business quickly gave way to something darker, something personal. Love, if it could be called that, blossomed into something obsessive, intoxicating, and deadly. What looked like a perfect pairing to outsiders was, in truth, a dangerous entanglement between two lovers who mirrored each other's madness. Because not everyone who laughs with you celebrates you. Not every hand extended toward you comes without a knife hidden behind it. In their world, betrayal is inevitable, secrets fester in the shadows, and death is never too far away. Lucien fell first, hard and irrevocably. Zikora followed, but not as the gentle muse people assumed her to be. She was his, fiercely, entirely, and dangerously. Just as he was hers. What they share is not ordinary love, it is possession, a twisted bond where obsession thrives and nothing else matters. But as their empire of passion and power grows, the walls around them begin to crack, revealing truths that will test their devotion in ways neither imagined. In this world, everything is not what it seems. Behind the glamour lies darkness, and behind the smiles lurks betrayal. A story of passion, obsession, secrets, and ruin, where love itself becomes the sharpest weapon of all.

Dr. David Byron, once a respected therapist, recounts his growing obsession with a fragile fifteen-year-old patient-an obsession that spiraled into seduction, violence, and an act he can never take back. As his health fails and the police close in, David's words blur the line between love and monstrosity, tenderness and control.
