Carnival of Fallen Shadows

In the fictional coastal city of Porto Velato, the annual Veiled God Carnival becomes a hunting ground where dozens of children vanish into forced labor networks. Criminal profiler Eira Falk, haunted by a childhood vision of a faceless deity, is drawn into the investigation. Every psychological profile she constructs reveals not a single monster, but a collective awakening of evil—an entire community wearing masks to surrender their guilt. As the carnival reaches its ecstatic peak, Eira must trace the contours of God’s abandoned shadow before the next child disappears, only to discover that the darkest mask might be her own. A Sebastian Fitzek-style psychological thriller where the line between savior and sinner blurs in the rhythm of a crowd gone mad.
