Gold That Does Not Shine: Corridor One

About this book

Abeer moves with her family from Alexandria to Dahab hoping that an old house above a mysterious cafe will give her the quiet needed to write. The sea, warm rooms, and slower rhythm promise restoration, but sounds from a hidden basement and symbols carved into darkness reveal another history. The cafe's owner knows more than he admits, and an absence begins to exert the force of a living presence. Sophia Bennis threads local atmosphere, family tension, and occult suspense through the first Corridor novel. Abeer must discover why the house repeats its secrets and whether the glittering refuge was chosen for her long before she arrived.
