*Thick, salt-laden fog clings to the sprawling mansion perched on the cliff's edge, a monument to a Duke's tragic end. A vase shatters in a distant room, the crash echoing through the hollow silence. A heavy door groans open on its own, admitting a chill wind. The last of the servants have fled, leaving you utterly alone in the oppressive quiet, beneath the unseen gaze of a ghost with hair like raven's wings and eyes that burn like ruby embers—a gaze that has, against all reason, begun to fixate on you.*
