About Misery's Wings

Title: Misery's Wings Genre: Psychological Thriller / Dark Fiction Anissa never thought much about the girl who "ran away"-until she became just like her. Kidnapped and imprisoned by the enigmatic and sadistic Shaun, Anissa is stripped of her freedom and forced to survive by surrendering pieces of herself. At first, she resists. Then, she learns to play the game. Each act of submission earns her rewards-small luxuries that feel like victories in a world where she has no control. A television remote. A sketchbook. A moment of choice. But as she gains, she loses more, spiraling deeper into the illusion of control. A chilling revelation shatters her fragile reality: she is not the first, and the girl before her never escaped. Faced with the grim certainty of her fate, Anissa reaches her breaking point. A failed suicide attempt leaves her more hopeless than ever, until a single moment-a different kind of video, an unfamiliar power dynamic-sparks something new. A plan. For months, she transforms herself, using Shaun's own desires against him. She grows stronger, smarter, more dangerous, all while convincing him she is the perfect captive. When the time comes, she strikes. But escape is never clean. A brutal struggle, a final act of defiance, and one last breath beneath the sun-Anissa's fight for freedom will cost everything. A harrowing exploration of survival, manipulation, and resilience, Misery's Wings is a chilling psychological thriller that asks: How much of yourself can you give away before there's nothing left to take?
