The Ghost of Alcantra is a romance/mystery vn that alternates between two perspectives, one taking place in 1987 and one taking place in 1997.
In 1987, Nick Fox meets the mysterious Alexandria (who seems to know more than she lets on) at the Summer Festival of Alcantra. They become closer, but at the same time, Alcantra finds itself the center for a series of murders.
In 1997, an unknown narrator gets hit by a motorcycle and ends up in the hospital with amnesia. A detective, Scarlet Storm, informs him that a murder has just occurred and gives him a note found with his belongings that says: “Her blood is on your hands.” He joins Detective Storm to assist in the case in hopes that doing so will help him recover his memories. She tells him that the townspeople think the murder was done for The Ghost of Alcantra.
As the events progress, it becomes clear that the events of 1997 are connected to those of 1987.
