The Dollmaker’s Curse

In a dimly lit shop at the edge of Cinder Row, nestled between crumbling tenements and forgotten alleyways, sat a place few dared to enter. The Dollmaker’s shop was a haven of beauty and horror alike, where porcelain faces held secrets and wooden limbs creaked with something more than age. Some said the dolls whispered at night. Others claimed they moved when no one was looking.

Evelyn Cross had never believed in curses—until she found herself clutching a doll that should not exist. A delicate creation with eerily familiar eyes and a name stitched into its tiny dress: Lillian. The name of her sister. A sister who had disappeared ten years ago.

Determined to unravel the mystery, Evelyn sought out the reclusive Dollmaker, a man rumored to craft his creations with more than mere craftsmanship. But as she stepped deeper into his world, she uncovered a chilling truth—his dolls were more than playthings. They were prisons. And some souls refused to stay locked away.

With time running out and shadows closing in, Evelyn would have to navigate the dark streets of Blackthorn, forging uneasy alliances and facing horrors beyond her understanding. Because the Dollmaker’s greatest work had yet to be completed—and she was destined to be its final piece.
