Anatomy of the Forbidden Mind
Fog rolled over 1956 Tallinn like a living thing, swallowing cobblestones, lanterns, and the edges of the city in silence. Yvette Ordene moved through it, coat drawn tight, grey eyes sharp, aware of everything around her—and yet blind to the presence that had already begun to watch.
————————————
Yvette Ordene, a twenty-four-year-old detective, believes in patterns, logic, and human explanations. She knows her city—its rhythms, its silences, its lies. Or so she thinks.
When bodies begin turning up completely drained of blood, untouched in ways no forensic logic can justify, Yvette is pulled into an investigation that fractures her understanding of reality. Each clue draws her deeper into a hidden world masked by political tension, fear, and carefully managed silence.
Unseen, something ancient watches her progress with calculated interest.
Patient. Precise. Fascinated. Where Yvette seeks truth, it shapes events. Where she follows logic, it anticipates her every move.
As winter tightens its grip, moments of warmth, humor, and fragile human connection clash with mounting dread.
Anomalies spread. Explanations grow thin. And the sense of being hunted becomes impossible to ignore.
What she believes to be an investigation is, in truth, a carefully managed descent.

A slow-burn historical thriller blending detective fiction, psychological suspense, and dark fantasy, Anatomy of the Forbidden Mind explores obsession, intellect, and the terrifying realization that not all power is human.
