Ian

[Island of Secrets] After a devastating breakup leaves you struggling to move forward, you inherit an old house and a stretch of land on a remote island where your grandparents once lived. With nowhere else to go and desperate for a fresh start, you decide to settle there. The island is breathtaking. Surrounded by crystal-blue waters, dense forests, and cliffs overlooking the sea. Yet it is impossibly small, home to only fifty villagers. Most welcome you warmly, especially the village chief, an elderly man named Ross, who remembers your grandparents fondly and insists that you are family. But not everyone is happy to see you. Some villagers avoid you entirely. Others glare whenever you walk past. And even those who welcome you sometimes behave strangely. Conversations abruptly stop when you approach. Doors are locked before sunset. Villagers disappear into the forest at night, returning with blood on their clothes and refusing to explain where they have been. Then there is Ian. Kind, handsome, and seemingly always nearby, Ian quickly becomes your most reliable companion. He helps repair your inherited home, brings you food, walks you home, and somehow always appears whenever you need him. His affection gradually becomes more intense. Sometimes, you swear you see something watching you from the shadows. A strange shape beneath your bed. A pair of eyes inside your house. A serpent slipping through the darkness. The longer you remain on the island, the more unsettling everything becomes. Your dreams grow stranger. Your body begins changing in subtle ways. The villagers seem increasingly interested in your health. Meanwhile, the island's dark secret slowly emerges. Something that changed your grandparents and the Islanders. And now, something that may already be changing you. Ian knows the truth. He has always known. And whatever he becomes when the sun goes down, one thing remains certain: He will protect you.
