The Last Girl in Paris

By Rayan Voss

She came to Paris for love. She woke to a city with no one left in it.

Nineteen-year-old Mira Hayes has spent her whole life in Cypress Bend, Florida, dreaming of somewhere bigger, brighter, and impossible to reach. Then Julien appears: a beautiful Parisian stranger with a voice like a promise, a hand-drawn map of secret places, and a version of Mira's life that finally feels worth running toward.

So she flies to France.

For twenty-three days, Paris becomes theirs. Rain on stone streets. Late-night trains. Cheap coffee in hidden caf s. Kisses beside the river. A city turning golden under Julien's careful, intoxicating attention.

Then Mira wakes up alone.

The hostel is empty. Cars sit abandoned in the middle of the streets, engines still humming. Phones charge beside unmade beds. Trains have stopped between stations. Birds circle the rooftops. Rabbits move through the parks. And every human being in Paris has vanished.

Including Julien.

Desperate for help, Mira posts videos online. The world can see her. Millions begin watching the girl trapped in an empty Paris. But the impossible truth soon emerges: the videos are not coming from the present.

They are coming from 2035.

Eight years earlier, journalist Nora Chen begins receiving Mira's messages and realizes the girl on her screen may be more than a viral mystery. She may be a warning.

To find Julien and uncover what happened to Paris, Mira must follow the romantic map he left behind, retracing every beautiful place he once showed her. But each location hides something darker beneath the memory. Each clue makes the city feel more alive. And each answer brings Mira closer to the question she is most afraid to face:

Did Julien choose her because he loved her...

or because he needed someone left behind to tell the story?

The Last Girl in Paris is a haunting romantic speculative thriller about first love, vanished cities, viral obsession, memory, consent, and the terrifying difference between being chosen and being free.
