They say the mind protects itself. But what if the mind is the real killer?
Detective Elara Vance is no stranger to the darkness. Haunted by fractured memories and a past she cannot fully recall, she has built a life on chasing monsters-monsters she knows all too well.
When a series of ritualistic murders shakes the city, Elara is drawn into a chilling game of cat and mouse. Each victim bears the same mark: a yellow thread, delicate as spider silk, wrapped tightly around the wrist. And always, just out of reach, she glimpses a figure in the shadows-a woman in yellow gloves, watching. Waiting.
As Elara hunts the killer, strange distortions in reality begin to unravel her grip on the world around her. Memories slip, nightmares bleed into waking hours, and those she trusts most seem to shift in the corners of her vision.
The closer she gets to the truth, the more Elara realizes:
Some horrors are better left unseen.
Some monsters are born from within.
