Marilyn Deallan: Abyss

Marilyn Deallan: Abyss is a raw, emotionally charged continuation of Mimi's journey through the Five Doors Saga, where cursed memory, toxic love, and the seductive pull of fame collide. After defying Asael—the devil who gave her a voice and nearly took her soul—Mimi flees to California, answering Jack's plea to keep their band alive and their volatile relationship intact.

She finds herself in a crumbling rancher house on a treacherous mountain, where Jack, Nina, and Blake live at the mercy of wildfires, landslides, old wounds, and unraveling timelines.

Mimi's haunting voice propels the band to Coachella and into the orbit of fame she's always craved. But behind the scenes, Jack's abuse escalates, even as Mimi bankrolls their rise and holds the group together.

Blake and Nina wrestle with their own tangled history and complicity, until a trip to Mexico fractures what little trust remains. When Jack commits an unforgivable act, Nina and Blake beg Mimi to leave. But freedom isn't simple. The only escape seems to be a life Mimi never wanted: anonymity, state school, and the quiet pursuit of becoming a writer.

Abyss explores the brutal cost of survival, the illusion of escape, and the question that haunts every artist: what do you sacrifice to be seen?
