Written in Blood

Deanna Hollow has spent years writing the kind of men that don't exist in real life.

Dangerous men. Devoted men. Men hidden behind masks and sharp dialogue and impossible tension. The kind that linger in readers' minds long after the final page.

At twenty-seven, writing has become more than a career.

It's become an escape.

Night after night, Deanna loses herself inside stories filled with obsession, longing, and emotionally devastating characters who feel more real to her than most people ever have.

Until one night-

something changes.

Small things begin shifting inside her apartment. Objects move. Unfinished pages appear where she didn't leave them. She starts catching glimpses of figures watching her from dark hallways and distant windows before disappearing entirely.

At first, she blames exhaustion.
Stress.
An imagination that's spent too long wandering through fictional worlds.

But as the line between reality and fiction begins unraveling, Deanna starts to realize some stories were never meant to stay on the page.

And some characters refuse to be forgotten.
