When Ink Runs Black

Gothic-Romance Thriller

Freya Vale’s life has always been quiet, until she inherits her grandmother’s isolated cabin on the edge of Germany’s Black Forest. Hoping to escape her artistic block and the shadows of her past, she discovers something far more sinister hidden in the attic: a strange paintbrush tucked inside an unfinished canvas.

When Freya dips the brush into ink, she unlocks a passage to Eidralis, a hauntingly beautiful world painted in shadows and sorrow. There, she meets Riven, a mysterious man bound to the realm by a curse centuries old. As their connection deepens, Freya learns that her arrival was no accident, and that Eidralis feeds on more than just dreams.

With the lines between creation and corruption unraveling, Freya must decide whether to save the world she’s painted herself into—or destroy it before it consumes her completely.

For fans of atmospheric fantasy, twisted romance, and stories where magic bleeds into madness.
