Synopsis:
The Rose is a suspenseful and thrilling story written by Matthew Dennis. The story follows Arthur, a young man who is eager to enter the world of magic. He is invited to an interview with the legendary magician Wilt Emrys, who has a reputation for being tough on his potential apprentices. Arthur is handcuffed and held captive by Wilt, who reveals that he knows Arthur’s true identity and has trafficked his younger brother out of Las Vegas. Arthur takes matters into his own hands and uses a wand-like prop to exact revenge on Wilt in a gruesome and shocking manner.
This gripping tale takes us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as Arthur seeks to avenge his brother and confront the evil magician. The Rose is a perfect for fans of suspense, drama, and action-packed stories with unexpected twists and turns.
