It has been a week since the old mausoleum at the Nethermly Cemetery collapsed without warning. This week has been full of unexplained deaths and strange sightings.

But of course, the universe seems to hate her: The first newcomer the town has had in centuries had to come knocking at her door. Draven did not want to ask for her help. But his people had been massacred, and if the remaining few didn't act fast, the same would happen to the oblivious residents of Nethermly. He did not want to dig up his past, nor did he want to drag an unwilling girl into this. But they needed every help they could get, and they were running out of time. If they failed, Nethermly would be erased from the map. Prompt 86: Nobody new has come to your hidden town in centuries - until now. Someone appears on your doorstep, claiming they're here to find you. But how do they know your name?

They speak of a man named **Julian Mercer** - a world-renowned psychiatrist who vanished without a trace a decade ago. A man Ivy has never met... but who somehow knows everything about her. Her fears. Her dreams. Her desire to feel seen. And the more Ivy listens, the more she falls under his spell. As the silence grows and reality begins to fracture, Ivy must uncover who Julian really was - and what he wants from her now. But in a house where nothing echoes and every shadow has eyes, the most dangerous thing she might find... is herself.Complete
