Demons hide amongst the light, and the shadows are alive.
Jean Cassy has always had bad luck- being curseborn brings misfortune, and hers is only getting worse. When her cousin falls ill, she takes it as a sign to leave for Blackrock in order to assist her family.
But her plans shatter when she contracts chittering madness- a disease with only two outcomes: amputation or death. Now with this dangerous secret, Jean accepts a position assisting a reclusive researcher known as Popcorn. Yet his work hides darker truths, and as she is drawn deeper into his world, she realizes the dangers she faces are far greater than she imagined.
With secrets closing in, and death at her heels, Jean must fight to endure. Because in a world where hope is dying, survival is the only thing that matters.

Phantom in the Dark is a clean dark fantasy filled with danger, mystery, and the struggle for survival. Some themes may be intense for sensitive readers.

Note for eBook Readers:
The print edition of Phantom in the Dark includes illustrated journal pages with artwork and handwritten-style notes. Due to formatting limitations on e-readers, these visual elements are not included in the digital edition. The story remains fully intact and immersive, but for the complete illustrated experience, we recommend the paperback version.
