Silas appeared to possess it all: a devoted girlfriend, loving parents, and a steadfast best friend who kept him grounded.
He was navigating the labyrinth of college life, aspiring to earn a doctorate.
Then, fate twisted its knife. One fateful day, a beguiling figure emerged from the shadows of an alley.
A lifeless form lay sprawled upon the frigid concrete, blood trickling from her lips, shimmering like rubies beneath the pale moonlight. Her eyes, a haunting shade of crimson, held a universe of secrets, countless revelations, yet devoid of any trace of humanity.
This enigmatic girl, known as Keira, was the last of her lineage, her family brutally extinguished by the hands of a former lover.
For centuries, she has wandered the earth, seeking the reincarnation of the one who betrayed her in the most despicable manner.
Those aware of the supernatural tremble at her name, for death and despair cling to her like a relentless shadow, a malignant curse.
Will they unravel the enigma of their shared, sorrowful history before the sands of time run out, or will Keira thirst for vengeance and her obsession with Silas spell doom for them all?
Can they uncover the truth behind the massacre of her family? Was Silas the traitor, or does a deeper tale lie hidden in the shadows?
