The Kallistrai
It's summer 1999. The final days of sun before a new millennium arrives.
When Julian and three friends travel to the greek island of Kalynos for two weeks of sun and relaxation, it begins like every perfect vacation should. Endless beaches, warm evenings and music drifting across the sand.
Then he sees her from a distance.
A beautiful, raven-haired woman moving silently across the town square. She's captivating and strangely hypnotic. The kind of allure that turns heads, silences conversations and leaves people unable to think clearly once she is near. Her name is Thalassa and from that moment on, Julian can think of little else. Sleep becomes elusive, reality begins to blur, and even his friends realise something about him is changing.
Strangely drawn to an island nearby. Xatthos was abandoned years ago. A place locals avoid speaking about. Yet at night, strange lights appear across the water. Music, firelight and laughter carry on the wind.
Despite warnings to stay away from both Thalassa and the island, Julian cannot resist. Every encounter draws him deeper into a world hidden beneath centuries of myth, where beauty conceals something ancient and every unanswered question pulls him further from the life he thought he knew.But the closer Julian comes to Thalassa, the harder it becomes to tell whether he's uncovering the island's darkest secret... or willingly surrendering to it.
Set against the haunting beauty of the Greek islands, The Kallistrai is a seductive gothic horror about hypnotic allure, ancient secrets and the terrifying power of surrender.
