Night after night, Lucien appeared in the mirror.
He told her the truth.
In 1892, Lucien Ashbourne was betrayed by someone he loved. Poisoned. Buried beneath the house. His soul bound to the mansion by unfinished longing.
He was not evil.
He was trapped.
And Elara — strangely — was not afraid.
Their conversations turned into laughter.
Laughter turned into shared secrets.
And somewhere between fear and fascination…
Elara fell in love with a ghost.
