Story :

Ada returns to the eerie village of Thornwick to uncover the truth behind the legend of the Veiled One, a spectral figure who haunts the mist-laden streets and forests. With the help of her brother, Rowan, and the village priest, Father Eamon, she learns that the Veiled One was once a guardian spirit, betrayed and bound to the land when her name was forgotten. As Ada delves deeper, she discovers that the spirit seeks retribution and will only be freed when her name is remembered. The chilling realization comes as Ada learns she is the last of the Veiled One’s bloodline, forever cursed to carry the weight of her ancestor’s silent sorrow, bound to a mystery that may never be solved.

5. Retribution - punishment inflicted in response to wrongdoing

Grammar Focus :

• Relative Clauses:
• Example: “The Veiled One, who was once a guardian spirit, haunts the village.”
• Relative clauses provide additional information about a noun without starting a new sentence.
• Passive Voice:
• Example: “The village was haunted by the Veiled One’s presence.”
• The passive voice is used to shift focus from the subject to the action, often adding mystery or formality.
• Conditionals:
• Example: “If her name were remembered, the curse would end.”
• Conditionals express possibilities, often speculative, and are used to create suspense and hypothetical scenarios.
