When a disgraced explorer retreats to a remote desert mansion filled with mysterious mirrors, the last person he expects is a determined crystal artist who believes she can help unlock his fractured mind—and find her missing sister. Josh has been written off as a paranoid recluse by everyone except Molly, who's willing to risk everything to uncover the truth about the catastrophic expedition that destroyed his career and took the people she loves. With an undeniable pull between them and dangerous secrets lurking beneath the surface, Josh and Molly must navigate their growing connection while grappling with rules designed to protect them from forces neither fully understands. It's a gripping blend of mystery, paranormal intrigue, and slow-burn romance set in a world where nothing is quite what it seems.
Reading soundtrack
Mysterious, introspective indie-folk and ambient soundscapes with hints of paranormal wonder. Think Bon Iver's isolation, Florence + The Machine's haunting vocals, and Nick Drake's melancholy. Soft, yearning, with undercurrents of danger and fractured beauty—a soundtrack for secrets unraveling in desert silence.
