What would you trade to rewrite fate itself?
In a city drowning in rot, where rain is judgment and breath is a borrowed luxury, Scholar Ismene Veyre is out of time. Her brother is dying. Every cure has failed. And then a letter arrives-from a disgraced mentor, long thought dead-speaking of a mythical tome buried beneath the Shattered Archive. A book blacker than a starless night. A book that promises to undo fate itself.
What begins as a desperate quest soon unravels into a descent through madness, memory, and ink. The Black Book does not simply grant wishes-it makes bargains. Dark, exacting, irreversible bargains.
Now, Ismene must navigate cursed archives, spectral horrors, and a city tearing itself apart by her name. Each page she turns exacts a cost. Each answer leads deeper into a metaphysical trap woven by a power older than gods.
Some books whisper. This one bites.
The Black Book is a slow-burn psychological horror novel drenched in atmospheric dread, cosmic corruption, and the terrible allure of forbidden knowledge. For fans of The Ninth House, The Library at Mount Char, and House of Leaves, it is a tale where memory lies, ink bleeds, and salvation may be the deadliest illusion of all.
