01 / THE STORY

Paradise has
an appetite.

On Albania’s sunlit coast, the nights promise everything.

The sea is blue. The drinks are golden. And above the town, a Prince welcomes the chosen into his home.

Nada has spent her life being overlooked. But she sees what others cannot: the light around the living, and the darkness where that light should be.

When an impossible man takes an interest in her, desire draws her towards a world of ancient hunger. Below the hill, the locals know what happens when summer ends.

A novel by Daniel & Elisângela Bearigo

Nada gently touches Lazar’s face aboard a wooden boat, with the town glowing across the night sea

DESIRE HAS ITS OWN DARKNESS

How close would you come
to something dangerous?

02 / ENTER THE WORLD

Beautiful nights.
Terrible secrets.

A coast alive with visitors.
A town that has learned to survive.
A welcome that conceals a hunger.

03 / THE PEOPLE OF THE HILL

Everyone has
something to hide.

Four lives drawn into the same darkness.

Lazar, young and watchful, with blue eyes and curly brown hair
THE PRINCE

Lazar

Beautiful. Assured. Impossibly old. A man accustomed to knowing everyone—until he meets Nada.

THE WOMAN WHO SEES

Nada

Raised on the move, taught to pass unnoticed. Her inherited sight makes her the one person who can recognise the darkness.

Dritan with a bruised face and a determined expression
THE MAN WHO RESISTS

Dritan

He knows the town and what the hill has taken. Fear has never given him a reason to stop looking.

Katarina, elegant and watchful at the bar entrance
THE PERFECT HOST

Katarina

Elegant, attentive and always watching. She knows who belongs in the room—and who the Prince wants to stay.

LULE KNOWS
“When the food goes…
the hill gets hungry.”

All summer, they eat the strangers.
But the strangers go home.
