💬 Quotes from the book
“The air grew heavy, and a distinct, cold breath passed my cheek, though the window was shut tight. Then, the rocking chair began its slow, rhythmic creak, empty save for the lingering presence I felt so keenly.”
“They say the Banshee's wail heralds death, and that night, a sound so mournful and piercing echoed from the ancient fort, it froze the very blood in our veins. We knew, then, that another soul was soon to depart.”
