PARADOX - Between Life and Death (English Version)

Amanda Evans learned early that the world saves no one.
She was ten when her father took his own life-leaving behind nothing but a note and a void that never closed.
At fourteen, she watched her mother die beneath thirty-seven stab wounds, each one delivered by the stepfather who smiled as he destroyed her world.
Then came the darkness.
She was sent to Blackthorn, the orphanage for the children no one wanted.
There she learned not to ask, not to cry, not to exist.
Until the night she ran.
Her escape carried her north-to Scotland, to the bleak and haunted county of Misterya Hollow.
A hostile house.
A broken uncle.
Two cousins ready to destroy her.
And Misterya Academy: not a school, but a deconsecrated cathedral built upon silence.
There, Amanda learns that her grandmother died under mysterious circumstances.
To uncover the truth, she must delve into the secrets of the Academy, decipher hidden riddles, and break the seals guarding something unspeakable.
Then comes Roberto Cafiero-Italian blood, ice-blue eyes, a living enigma.
He seeks nothing. He explains nothing.
Yet he is always there, one breath before disaster.
Amanda fears him. Desires him.
And will discover-too late-that he is not there by chance.
Roberto has come to save her from a fate already whispering her name.
But their love is impossible, cursed by forces that do not forgive.

A gothic, visceral, and merciless tale.
A forbidden love, bound by destiny and shadow.
A bond that saves and consumes, defying the laws of light and darkness-
forever poised between life and death,
suspended on a thread that love alone cannot save.
