When preservationist Celeste Carter is hired to oversee the restoration of the historic Fairmont Theater, she expects a battle with real estate developer Adrian Hawthorne—not a descent into a decades-old mystery. The once-grand theatre holds a dark past, tied to a devastating fire in 1948 that killed a young actress named Evelyn Ross. The official story claims it was an accident. But the deeper Celeste digs, the more she realizes that someone is desperate to keep the truth buried. Strange occurrences at the Fairmont—ghostly whispers, missing records, and a mysterious informant—convince Celeste that Evelyn’s spirit is trying to communicate. When anonymous threats escalate into physical attacks, she and Adrian uncover a sinister conspiracy that dates back to the theatre’s original owner, Nathaniel Wren. But Wren wasn’t the only one involved. Powerful men in Port Bellingham conspired to cover up the truth—and some of them are still alive. With danger closing in, Celeste and Adrian must navigate a maze of deception, corruption, and long-buried secrets. If they expose the past, they could bring justice to Evelyn after seventy-five years. But someone is willing to do anything to stop them. And the Fairmont isn’t the only place haunted by its history.

Alex tell his best friend Damon he’d do anything for him. Soon, he soon realized he was going to have to prove that fact.

Tragedies are hard to love, but even harder to hate. I should know - I've read enough of them. Especially my favorite webnovel, where kingdoms fall one by one, and the Hero's arrival is more curse than blessing. It was just fiction, something to read at 3 AM. Then my phone's screen got too bright. Now I'm stuck in my pajamas in, where my only weapons are a fitness band showing pathetically low stats and a phone whose signal bars warn me of approaching dangers. My curse? I know how six kingdoms fall, but not how the story ends. The first kingdom is about to fall. And I'm right in the middle of it. "Another human seeking refuge with the Demon Army? What skills do you even have?" Sometimes, to survive a tragedy, you have to pick the side everyone calls evil. [A story of survival, betrayal, and the fine line between heroes and villains.
