The Bell Beneath Blackthorn

Interactive story

At an ancient university, your missing sister's final clue draws you into a secret society, a buried bell, and two dangerous romances.

The tower door slams behind you. Rowan Vale stands beneath twelve silent bells, rain silvering his dark coat. A wet footprint appears between you—then another, suspended in empty air. "That key was Iris's," he says. "Tell me why you have it."
