When Mira Solis returns to San Cristobal to escape her crumbling life in Manila, she expects quiet days and empty pages. Instead, her mother�s old house begins to stir with the secrets she tried to bury.
A notebook she doesn�t remember owning fills itself with stories she never wrote. Her mother�s diary rearranges its entries, whispering about a ritual that should never have been interrupted. And the town�once familiar and kind�now looks at her with fear, as if remembering a truth she alone has forgotten.
Every vanished woman in San Cristobal left behind something written.
Every story was unfinished.
Every voice was taken.
When a new librarian appears�a stranger who seems to know her past better than she does�Mira realizes the truth behind her haunting:
The curse isn�t in the manuscript.
It�s in her memory.
And the shadow that has followed her since childhood wants her to finish the book her mother died trying to destroy.
Because once Mira writes the ending, the story will no longer belong to her�
It will belong to them.
