Most people fear Death. But Samarra feels safest by his side.Grief is drowning Samarra's mind. Her sister's death was too sudden, too senseless. No one will even speak of the night she died, leaving Samarra silenced and alone as her sanity begins to fracture. That's when she meets Death himself.With piercing white eyes and a voice that sedates her spiralling thoughts, Death becomes her only comfort. He quiets her pain, offers relief from the unbearable weight of the world, and whispers secrets about her sister's final moments, tempting Samarra with the vengeance she craves.But when Death vanishes without warning, Samarra is left desperate to feel his presence again. She doesn't know if he was real or a hallucination of her unraveling mind. All she knows is that she needs his peace once more.And she'll do whatever it takes to bring him back.

Something is watching from the dark corners of her cell.Saffron has been imprisoned in Medlock’s Detention, where the guards are soulless, the prisoners are secretive, and the shadows seem to sharpen their claws. But she knows something even darker is lurking in the depths of the cells.Her friend Ray was sent here before he vanished without explanation. The only clues he left behind were frantic warnings about a creature called the caliginent — a monster that feeds on thoughts and devours sanity.As Saffron searches for answers through forbidden rooms, cult-like séances, and disturbing drug trials, the line between truth and delusion begins to blur. The shadows grow closer. Her thoughts become unreliable. And Saffron begins to fear the most dangerous thing in these cells might not be the monster everyone fears — but her own unraveling mind.
