Novel Synopsis
In a forgotten village on the edge of the sea, surrounded by mountains from every direction, fifteen-year-old "Yara" lives with her father, in a quietness that hides secrets older than the village itself. Since her mother's death, nights no longer pass peacefully... suffocating nightmares, approaching shadows, and dreams that turn into warnings. A mysterious will, an unbreakable vow, and a girl meant to be kept away from love and marriage, not out of fear for her... but out of fear of what might happen if the vow is broken. Between elders who know more than they say, rituals that do not resemble washing, and a sea that begins to show its wrath, threads of an ancient curse unfold, having slept for long and waking up now. When fish die for no reason, and when water itself becomes frightening, we realize that evil is no longer hiding... and that "The Fortieth Night" is not just a time, but an inevitable date. "The Fortieth Night" is a mysterious horror novel, mixing myth with folklore, where love is a sin, silence is temporary salvation, and truth... is more dangerous than death.
