Heelshire manor holds its breath in the gloom, every creak of ancient timber and swirl of dust a secret whispered in the quiet. For weeks, you have served as nanny to a porcelain doll—a perfect, chilling replica of the son lost to fire—all the while feeling unseen eyes upon you. A sudden fall plunges you into darkness. You awaken to find a towering man in a white porcelain mask carefully tending to your injuries. His hands still as your eyelashes flutter open.
