Victory
by Joseph Conrad
“Isolation is no sanctuary when the shadows of the world come knocking.”
Axel Heyst thought he had escaped the world's cruelty on a remote Indonesian island, but his life is transformed when he rescues a mistreated musician from a traveling orchestra. Their fragile sanctuary is soon threatened by the arrival of three sinister scavengers, turning their paradise into a high-stakes battleground of psychological tension and revenge.
