enemiestolovers gloomy mystery romance smalltown thriller ya youngadult

When Emma finds an old leather-bound book, she has no idea that she has taken the first step into a mystery greater than herself. At first, there are only strange coincidences - words that appear on the pages, shadows in the mirror that don't belong to her. But soon the book seems to know more than it should - more about the past and a truth that has been hidden for years.

In her search for answers, Emma stumbles upon a trail that leads to a missing girl, a silent conspiracy, and an organization hidden in the city's underground. Each clue brings her closer to the truth - and at the same time to a danger she didn't see coming.

Because nothing about this book is ordinary.
Nothing about it is random.
And nothing about it found her without reason.

The deeper Emma delves into the mystery, the clearer it becomes: some secrets choose you - and never let you go.All Rights Reserved

Duskwood: A Town of Mysteries by 001writer

"It may seem like any place. Cold, monotonous. But can you imagine what lurks deep in the forest of the town of mysteries? Coincidence, fate?" Vanysh Webster just moved to Duskwood, a small town that doesn't seem to be any special, but that is until a stranger, from this same town, calls her claiming to have received a message from his missing girlfriend, which contained nothing but her number. Intrigued by the events and even people related to it, she decides to enter the case and find this girl, which leads her to paths deeper than anyone could ever imagine. !!!!Brief explanation: As some of you might have noticed, the story is based on the game "Duskwood", which means the main ideas, story and characters ARE NOT mine (except for Vanysh and some others). So, the general credits belongs to everbyte and all of their creators. Another important thing is: some things that will happen are the same from the game's original story, but other's were invented by me. My intention is to give the story another perspective besides the "Main Character" that we interpret while playing (And I started writing this before chapter 9 was released). *The portuguese version can be found at my profile*
