Beneath the glow of Birmingham’s city lights, Karen lives an ordinary life. She rides the buses, works the nine-to-five, escapes into novels and films that promise her something more than the endless cycle of routine. She believes fantasy is her only way out — until the fantasy finds her. From the shadows steps Darian, a man too elegant, too ancient, too impossibly knowing to be human. He speaks to her as though he has lived her life alongside her, recounting secrets only she could know. He claims to be one of the Watchers — beings who have followed humanity for centuries, shaping what we see, controlling what we hear, weaving illusions of freedom while hiding a darker truth. But Darian is different. He has betrayed his kind, drawn to Karen in a way that defies every law he was raised to obey. He reveals the secret their world has long denied: vampires, witches, and werewolves are not myths. They are real, they are watching, and the biggest corporations we trust are their stage — a vast theatre playing for an audience beyond Earth. As Karen is pulled deeper into this hidden war, she discovers that her longing for more was never a weakness. It was a signal. She is not just another woman lost in the city’s crowd. She is the key to a story older than time, one that could either set humanity free or condemn it to eternal bondage. A tale of forbidden attraction, dangerous truths, and supernatural power colliding with the grit of everyday life, this book asks:
