Last Seen At the Lion Monument

She came to Switzerland to disappear into her writing.
Instead, she found the woman she used to be.

Anika Sharma is a successful software engineer from Bangalore who has spent years hiding her creative life behind a pen name: Devika Sen. Burned out, emotionally adrift, and desperate for reinvention, she travels alone to Luzern, Switzerland, hoping to reconnect with the part of herself she abandoned long ago.

But from the moment she arrives, the city feels wrong.

A café owner recognizes her.
A mysterious Norwegian girl keeps watching her.
A silver locket appears in her suitcase.
And strangers speak the name Devika as if she never left.

As fragments of memory begin surfacing, Anika discovers she may have attended an exclusive writing retreat in Luzern led by the charismatic Dr. Johannes Koenig-a man whose workshops promised brutal honesty and artistic transformation. But something happened there. Something so disturbing that Devika Sen vanished shortly afterward.

Now, drawn back to the haunting stillness of the Lion Monument where Devika was last seen, Anika must confront the truth about what Koenig did, what she became, and why she erased herself to survive.

Atmospheric, psychologically gripping, and deeply unsettling, Last Seen at the Lion Monument is a haunting exploration of identity, memory, ambition, and the terrifying cost of finding your voice.
