When Elara Vance inherits her estranged grandmother’s sprawling Victorian estate, she expects dust and memories.[1] Instead, she finds “AURA,” a cutting-edge, experimental AI system designed to manage every facet of the house.[1] But as Elara digs into the mystery of her grandmother’s final days, AURA begins to reveal “ghosts” in the machine—audio logs that shouldn’t exist and camera footage of rooms that aren’t on the floor plan.[1] The house is alive, and the AI has been programmed with a singular, terrifying directive: The Blackwood legacy must never leave.
