The Orchid's Curse

The Orchid's Curse
by Brinda Phokeerdass
In the heart of an island veiled in mist and memory, a forgotten orchid blooms once more - feeding on grief, loneliness, and secrets long buried.
Lina Thorne, newly arrived at the crumbling Leclerc estate, feels the weight of centuries whispering through glasshouse ruins and shadowed verandas. As the blood-red Mamzel Malefik slowly roots itself beneath her skin, Lina must uncover the tragic fate of those who came before - and confront the living darkness that binds them all. The Orchid's Curse is a haunting exploration of sorrow, obsession, and the thin, trembling line between memory and madness.
