What if the story was reading you?Mara Penn never meant to bring the book home. One brush of the cover, and it was already too late. Bound in blood-red leather and etched with a shifting sigil, the ancient book doesn't tell stories-it writes lives. And once Mara opens its pages, her reality begins to unravel. Nightmares bleed into waking life. People vanish. Whispers follow her through mirrors. The deeper she reads, the more the book twists her past, distorts her future-and reveals a haunting connection to a mother who disappeared fifteen years ago.
But the Codex Thorne doesn't just show you the truth. It feeds on it. And if Mara wants to survive, she'll have to write her way out before the story finishes her for good. A dark, psychological thriller in the vein of Stephen King and Paul Tremblay, The Ink That Whispers is a terrifying descent into a cursed narrative where memory is fluid, reality is fragile, and every ending is just another beginning.
