The Thirteenth Shadow

In a decaying house by the sea, every reflection remembers what it’s seen.When Renee Marlowe inherits Blackmere House, she believes the worst she’ll face are leaking roofs and ghosts of grief.But the mirrors breathe. The walls hum. And the air remembers the sound of her mother’s voice.Thirteen days. Thirteen lights. Thirteen shadows.Bound by an inheritance clause that demands the house never be left dark or empty, Renee uncovers a lineage written in glass and blood—a cycle of women who traded their reflections for survival. As she reads her mother’s journals and faces her own echo in the thirteenth window, Renee begins to realize the truth:The house doesn’t want her gone.It wants her finished.
