The Lost Novel

When editor Anna Carter stumbles upon an eerie, leather-bound book in a dimly lit bookstore, she never expects it to contain her own life story. The House of Ashes by the mysterious E. Laurent describes events that mirror her every move—right down to the moment she discovers the book itself. As Anna turns the pages, chilling new passages appear, warning her that she is part of a story still being written. When the cryptic bookseller reappears, he delivers an unsettling truth: every author who has possessed this novel has vanished without a trace. Now, the book has chosen her. Drawn into a labyrinth of forgotten manuscripts, shifting realities, and an author who may not even exist, Anna must unravel the book’s secrets before she, too, is erased from its pages. But the final chapter has yet to be written—will she escape, or become the story’s next lost name? A gripping literary mystery filled with suspense, eerie twists, and the power of stories that refuse to stay on the page.
