A strange manuscript has come into Helen Franklin’s possession, and its contents have the power to unravel every strand of the fragile safety net she set up for herself. Twenty years ago, Helen did something she cannot forgive herself for and spent every day since trying to protect herself against its memory. The book is filled with testimonies from the darkest chapters of human history, which all record the frightening sightings of the loneliest being in the world – Melmoth. As Helen continues to read, she can’t seem to shake the feeling that someone or something is watching her. Eventually, her past catches up to her, and she must decide which path to take: to live with what she has done, or be led into the darkness…
