The Mysterious Key and What It Opened

Sir Richard Trevlyn kicks the bucket before his daughter Lillian draws her first breath. Alice, his widow, clutches fragments of truth, overheard on that fateful night when her husband crossed paths with a stranger in the estate’s library. What whispers reached her ears that caused her to crumple to the floor? And what dark secret lurks within her husband Richard’s lifeless shell?

By the time Lillian blossoms into a headstrong young woman ready to shake off tragedy’s shadow, with life flowing peacefully through the family estate, a knock rattles her door. Enter Paul, a cryptic young man hunting for work.

This seemingly random encounter weaves fresh threads around her father’s demise. When Paul vanishes into thin air, Lillian finds herself at a crossroads: let silence continue to bury the truth, or summon the guts to twist that mysterious key that might unlock the doors to a treacherous past.
