A woman returns to her hometown to attend a friend's wake, but ends up confronting an inexplicable evil.

First, you need to give it something precious to you. Then, a shelter, a doorway...

Something lives in a rotting house in the town of Santa Clara.

Emilia has not thought of this house for years, until a chance meeting with Alma, an old friend from her hometown.

When Alma suddenly dies, Emilia finds her way back to Santa Clara, to her circle of friends who rekindle memories of a bizarre ritual left unfinished.

Of a dark visitor who sits by their bed at night, of a being who won't let them sleep.

Must they once again awaken whoever dwells in that lonely house?

Ascension by Eliza Victoria delves into the mysterious, exploring themes of memory, loss, and the supernatural.
