Poisoned Strokes

By Shona Claudinah

She thought she was falling in love.
She didn't know she was being rewritten.

When Primrose meets the enigmatic Frederick Rhodes at a gallery opening, his words are like brushstrokes-flattering, precise, and disarmingly warm. To the outside world, he's charming. Controlled. Captivating. To Primrose, he feels like everything she's ever longed for: attention, affection, admiration.

But behind every compliment is a correction.
Behind every smile, a subtle shift in who she's allowed to be.

What begins as romance becomes a slow unraveling. A psychological cage disguised as love. A woman who once knew how to speak finds herself whispering. A woman who once stood tall finds herself shrinking.

Until one day, she sees the truth-and herself-in the mirror.

Told with fierce emotional clarity and haunting elegance, Poisoned Strokes: The First Fracture is a gripping psychological novella about identity, control, and the quiet power of reclaiming your voice.
