Eve Banksar had always felt that something was missing from her life, as if some invisible force was following her, something she couldn't quite understand. Growing up in a small, quiet house, Eve always felt a sense of unease. She couldn't place it anywhere—until her twin sister, Erna, died.
After Erna's death, Eve was shattered. The bond between twin sisters is something that cannot be easily broken. Since that day, Eve was never the same, but over time, the sorrow in her heart slowly turned into something else—a silent suspicion that perhaps, just perhaps, Erna's death was not as it had seemed. Her parents, who were once close, grew distant. They never looked directly at her; their conversations were always cautious, never saying too much. Something was being hidden, but no one was telling her.
Years passed, and Eve continued with her life, though her heart remained heavy with unanswered questions. Then, one winter evening, everything changed. Because Erna had returned. Suddenly, the sister who had been dead for so many years was back. But with her return, the atmosphere around her had shifted. Everything felt like a haze. Amid this, Eve received a letter—one that would change her life forever. It was an invitation from a place she had never heard of, from an organization she couldn't comprehend: "The Guild of Shadows."
The words in the letter were mysterious, yet intriguing, and despite her doubts, Eve knew she had to follow its instructions. She had to understand. She had to know the truth.
She found herself standing before the gate of a massive building, one that looked like something out of a dream—ancient and intimidating. The cold, grey stone of the building loomed over her when a man approached. He introduced himself as Mith, his eyes sharp and calculating. There was no warmth in them, just an unsettling knowledge.
"You've been waiting for this moment for a long time, Eve," Mith said. "The Guild has been watching you."
Her heart raced. How did he know her name? How did he know her?
Mith handed her a contract. It was thick, the edges worn, as though it had passed through many hands over the years. "Sign this, and you will know everything about your sister. Everything about your family. But be warned—once you sign, there's no turning back."
Eve's heartbeat quickened. Now, she had no doubt. She knew the truth about her family—the truth about her sister, Erna, was within her reach. She signed the contract, and in that moment, nothing in her life would ever be the same again.
Entering the world of the Guild, the truths Eve uncovered shocked her. Erna was not dead. She had been kept in the Guild's secret world for years. And now, Erna had returned—but she was no longer the girl Eve had once known. She was no longer warm. Her plans were cold, relentless—she wanted revenge on the family who had abandoned her.
The Guild gave Eve a condition: stay in the shadows, live in ignorance, or fully join them and understand everything. With the power and knowledge that the Guild promised. But the price was steep. She would have to spy on her sister, alter the delicate balance of the Guild, and become something she never imagined.
Caught between her loyalty to her family and the truth about Erna, Eve struggled with every step, unable to comprehend anything, unsure whom to trust or where to go. She uncovered secrets that forced her to question everything—the hidden ties her parents had with the Guild, the life they had lived, and the dark price that had been paid for her survival.
The deeper she went, the more the unknown unfolded. Every answer brought new questions, and each step seemed to take her closer to an invisible world where the line between truth and lies blurred. No matter how hard she tried, nothing was clear, and the only certainty was this—her life would never be the same again.
When Eve signed the Guild's contract again, her future took shape completely. She was no longer just Eve Banksar. She had become a pawn, a part of a much larger game that had begun long before her birth. The Guild had special plans for her, and whether she liked it or not, she would have to be a part of them.
