Shadows in Dark Places

Description

Once a year, in a place never marked on any map, the world’s wealthiest and most powerful figures gather in secret. They don’t trade stocks or weapons. They bid on something far more precious—human souls.
Rhea Callahan, a determined investigative journalist, infiltrates what she believes is a myth: the so-called “Auction of Souls.” But what begins as an exposé turns into a nightmare when she discovers her own soul is already on the bidding block—Lot Seventeen.

As Rhea navigates a surreal and terrifying world of masked elites, soul trafficking, and identity theft at the most metaphysical level, she uncovers a conspiracy stretching back centuries. Guided by a defector named Rafael Crane, she learns that the Auction is no mere spectacle—it’s the mechanism by which the powerful extend life, rewrite guilt, and erase their pasts… by owning someone else’s essence.

Facing impossible choices, Rhea must decide: Will she trade her story for her safety, or risk everything to expose the truth? And in a place where names can be stolen and memories reshaped, what does it truly mean to own yourself?
As the final bidding night approaches, the price of silence grows. And Rhea discovers that sometimes, the most dangerous currency of all… is truth.
