Beneath the Midnight Star

After her grandmother’s funeral, Lily Marchand awakens in the creaking belly of a ghostly ship, dressed in salt-stiff mourning clothes and clutching a locket she’s never seen before. The sea groans around her. Moonlight fractures through cracked portholes. The name Midnight Star whispers through the fog like an echo from another life.



As Lily searches for answers, shadows move through the corridors—some familiar, some impossibly wrong. The walls breathe with memory, and the names carved into the ship’s rail match those in her family’s past. But the ship is not abandoned. Something waits below deck, ancient and watching.



Driven by fragmented visions and voices from beyond, Lily must navigate a vessel that shifts like a living thing—one steeped in secrets and bound by choices long buried. Time wavers. History repeats. And in the depths, the tide remembers everything.



Some doors were never meant to open.
