Villx_Projekt

When Evelyn Hart, a reclusive novelist haunted by her sister’s unsolved disappearance a decade earlier, returns to her fog-drenched coastal hometown of Blackthorn Cove, she seeks solace—not answers. But the past refuses to stay buried. As Evelyn reconnects with her estranged childhood sweetheart, **Liam Kane** (now a brooding detective with secrets of his own), she uncovers cryptic journal entries hidden in her family’s abandoned lighthouse. The pages hint at a clandestine society of women who once ruled the town… and a curse tied to every Hart woman since the 1800s.

Whispers in the Mist (Evelyn Hart)

The lighthouse door groaned open, dust motes swirling in the gray light. Quilts hung like cobwebs, their patterns warped by mildew. Evelyn ran a finger over one—a stormy sea stitched in black thread, a woman's face drowning in the waves.

"You always hated the water," her sister had teased when they'd sewn this together. "But you'll miss the sea when you're gone."

Beneath a floorboard near the hearth, she found the journal. Its pages were brittle, filled with sketches of hooded women circling a bonfire, their hands clasped around a quilt dripping with… blood? Evelyn squinted. No—red thread. The final entry was a single sentence:

"They stitch the silence."

Evelyn froze. Rats, she told herself. But the sound came again—deliberate, rhythmic. Footsteps.

She fled, the journal clutched to her chest. Outside, the fog had swallowed the cliffs. As she hurried to her car, she glimpsed a shadow in the lighthouse window. A man's silhouette, holding something that glinted—scissors?

The lighthouse lens, cracked and clouded, reflected the storm in Evelyn's hazel eyes.
