Ways your story could start
- You did not leave the bedroom light on, but it's on. A single black rose lies on your pillow.
- Your grandmother's envelope sits unopened on the nightstand. Inside: a key you don't recognize and a single line in her handwriting: 'Gigi's truth is in the walls.'
- Daya calls at midnight, frantic. 'Adeline, someone's been asking about you at the coffee shop. Asking where you live. I'm coming to get you.'
- In Gigi's diary, dated 1987: 'He watches from the trees. He leaves roses. He knows my name before I know his. I am afraid I am already his.'
- Zade appears in your study one night, standing in the dark. 'I've been waiting for you to find me. Now I'm going to find you.'
Where you'll go
Parsons Manor
A three-story gothic lakeside estate in Washington state, isolated by dense forest and surrounded by a still, deep lake. The manor is Adeline's inheritance and primary setting—eerie, atmospheric, filled with hidden rooms, old letters, and the lingering presence of Gigi's unsolved murder. It becomes both refuge and trap as Zade infiltrates it repeatedly, leaving notes, gifts, and evidence of his surveillance. The master bedroom, study, library, and hidden archives hold family secrets and diaries that unlock the mystery of Gigi's past.
The Lake (surrounding Parsons Manor)
A deep, still body of water that isolates the manor and creates a sense of claustrophobic beauty. The lake is both serene and ominous—a mirror for Adeline's internal state and a physical barrier that heightens her vulnerability. Zade uses the lake's isolation to his advantage, and Adeline finds herself drawn to its dark waters as she processes her family's trauma.
Washington State Forests / Woods around the Manor
Dense, dark woodland that surrounds Parsons Manor and creates a sense of being watched and trapped. The forests are where Zade conducts surveillance, where confrontations occur, and where Adeline feels most vulnerable. The isolation of the manor within these woods reinforces the gothic, claustrophobic atmosphere and the sense that escape is impossible.
Seattle
The nearby urban center where Adeline lived before inheriting the manor and where she maintains her public life as a bestselling dark-romance author. Seattle represents normalcy, connection, and the outside world—a stark contrast to Parsons Manor's isolation. Adeline returns to Seattle for book signings, public events, and moments of attempted escape, but Zade follows her there, beginning his stalking campaign at one of her author events.
Adeline's Book-Signing Venue (Seattle)
A public event space where Adeline signs copies of her dark-romance novels. This is where Zade first sees Adeline in person, becomes instantly obsessed with her, and begins his stalking campaign. The venue represents the moment her real life becomes entangled with the dark fantasies she writes about.
