My dear friends and followers the last excerpt from Jezebel’s Island: A Psychological and Mystery Thriller before the Launch – July 11
The night my son came into this world was the happiest
night of my life. My hair was wet, and the contractions grew as
the night advanced. I knew I was going to have a son, though
no medical doctor had told me so. The nurse remained stationed
at my side, aiding me to maintain a constant rhythm
of breathing, ensuring that none of my movements tore me
away from the dozens of wires and tubes. I knew that my
agony was required in exchange for the myriads of joys my
son would ultimately have; my suffering was the price I was
paying for his happiness.
The nurse, dressed in a white gown, moved from one
monitor to the next. Then she left. I was alone. Yet was I
alone? I felt another presence—something ethereal, sweet,
intoxicating. Layer by layer, I felt as though I was reclaiming
a forgotten inheritance. Through the window, I could see the
black rain hammering the night. I was drenched in a scorching
sweat, feeling like a piece of ice thrown into a volcanic river.
The agony escalated until I thought it crossed the threshold
of the bearable. I was sure I was going to die. Seconds after,
in a flash of clarity, the truth revealed itself: neither the nurse
nor anyone else gave a damn about my survival. That night I
took sole custody of my son’s life, in whose name I committed
myself to endure everything.
A Note from the Amazon Description
Who killed the Captain?
It is the question at the center of Jezebel’s Island: A Psychological and Mystery Thriller—a dark, surreal puzzle that echoes through a suffocating City lost in an eternal fog. Isolated on a remote island where the rain never stops, the answer does not lie in the rain-slicked streets—it lies across the forbidden peaks, shrouded in myth.
Anastasia was chosen. She does not know why, and she does not know by whom. To uncover the truth behind the Captain’s death, she must confront the ultimate taboo: the interdiction. The mountains on the other side are strictly off-limits, and to cross them is to challenge the very architecture of reality itself.
