Hollow Wards

I wasn't looking for trouble when I arrived at Crescent Manor—just a fresh start and maybe a little escape from my ordinary life. Instead, I got Ethan. Brooding, infuriating Ethan, who seems to know exactly what I shouldn't be asking and refuses to answer anyway. And then there's the house itself, with its creaking walls, whispering halls, and a garden that practically hums with secrets. Oh, and did I mention Vivienne? She vanished, then reappeared with a warning that chilled me to my core: leave now, or else. But how do you walk away when every instinct screams that leaving won't save you? What's worse—running from a curse I don't understand or facing the terrifying truth it's hiding? Maybe I should've stuck to boring. But boring doesn't come with haunted gardens, cursed bloodlines, and a pull toward danger that I can't resist. Crescent Manor has its grip on me, and it's not letting go anytime soon. And Ethan? Well, he's just another puzzle I need to solve—assuming we survive whatever's coming for us.
