### **About *The Umbrella***

*The Umbrella* is a dark, mythic urban fantasy about desire—what it promises, what it costs, and what it leaves behind.

When a cursed black umbrella grants its bearer everything they have ever wanted, it does so by rewriting how the world sees them… and slowly erasing who they truly are. For some, the transformation feels like salvation. For others, it becomes a quiet execution.

Set in the city of Ashwick, *The Umbrella* follows broken lives drawn into the orbit of an ancient power known as Aenoth—a sentient force that feeds on human longing. As wealth, beauty, and influence bloom overnight, a far older reckoning begins to move in the shadows.

This is a story of false ascension and inevitable consequence. Of love mistaken for need. Of power that whispers instead of commands. And of the one figure who has spent centuries ending what should never have been allowed to rise.

Moody, philosophical, and cinematic, *The Umbrella* blends modern noir with ancient myth, asking a single dangerous question:

**If your deepest desire came true… what would it cost you to keep it?**

*The Umbrella* is the first book in a larger saga that continues in **Calithar**, where judgment itself is finally put on trial.
