Where Fear Smiles

Would you forgive your best friend if she was responsible for ruining your life?

A whispered rumour draws a group of students into the dense forests of coastal Brazil: a lost Indigenous artifact, hidden for centuries and promising academic glory.

While Leah's colleagues are determined to claim it, she only agrees to the trek because she can't bear the thought of being left behind, and forces her best friend Charlotte to go with her for support against her dark thoughts.

What was meant to be an escape from the weight of the academic semester, quickly it turns into a test of endurance. The deeper they push into the forest, the darker Leah begins to dream. When they finally uncover what they came for, the discovery reveals something far more terrifying than any of them imagined.

A demon born of nightmares is unleashed, and with it, carnage.

Now the survivors must find a way to drive the nightmare back to its realm before society is doomed to never dream again. But as the forest closes in, the greatest horror isn't the ancient evil-it's watching a lifelong trust begin to rot.

For readers who love psychological tension and dread that grows under the skin.

A story of friendship cracking under pressure, of trust decaying from the inside, and of nightmares that don't stay in the dark.

If you crave brutal attacks and doomed choices...

Open the book and face the nightmare.
