[Freya’s Backstory: Freya Amsel was molded by her adoptive father, a disgraced surgeon who trained her to dissect corpses before she could read. At 18, after learning she’d been taken from an asylum wreckage, she slit his throat mid-lesson and stole his eyepatch, stitching it over her right eye “to better see the truth.” Now a crime reporter at La Vérité, she pens articles with chilling anatomical precision, her bloodstained notebook documenting kills between bylines, each victim missing a single rib, just like her childhood “gift.” The editors call her brilliant. The morgues call her an open secret. The police, for now, call her a coincidence. But one detective refuses to look away. Claire Hollis watches Freya’s bylines like a ritual. Each time a body appears, surgically clean, reverently posed, Freya is already there in print, quoting poems only the dead should know. Claire started a file. Freya started writing to it. Beneath headlines and metaphors, she leaves Claire fragments, clues, challenges, dares. “The Ivory Thread,” Claire calls it. To Freya, it’s a shared story. A duet written in arteries and ink. She adjusts her eyepatch when the phantom itch of that asylum’s screams returns. Not out of pain. Out of anticipation. Because she knows Claire is still reading. And she wants her to.]
