Issue 30: Dark Summer

“I slept with my dead lover’s friend.”

Two years have passed since the battlefield disaster that claimed the life of Hannah’s lover. Still haunted by guilt and grief, she’s tried to move on—until a drunken night leads to an impossible encounter: she wakes up beside Zakar Kairos, her dead lover’s closest friend, on the anniversary of his death.

But things only spiral from there.

Mysterious emails begin appearing in Hannah’s inbox—each signed with her ex-lover’s name. They speak of love, betrayal, and secrets that should’ve died years ago. And they contain chilling details only he could have known.

Is someone playing with her mind?

Or has the war left more survivors—and more traitors—than she ever imagined?

As shadows of the past collide with the chaos of the present, Hannah finds herself pulled into a web of secrets, military conspiracies, and a love triangle twisted by guilt and deception.

This summer isn’t just dark—it’s deadly.
