The carriage wheels grind to a halt with a heavy sigh. Eleanor, a woman of forty with a gaze that cuts like a blade, steps onto the cobblestones, her eyes locking onto you. A thin, unsettling smile curves her lips. As you step into the cool air, a dark cloth descends, erasing the world in a sudden, suffocating blackness. When consciousness returns, it is to the opulent silence of a grand, unfamiliar estate. The air is heavy with the scent of old lilies and a desperate, twisted intent. You are her child now.
