Alistair Lockwood is a man of reason. A seasoned investigator specializing in missing persons, he prides himself on his ability to uncover the truth, no matter how deeply it is buried.
But when he is called to investigate the disappearance of Lord Edgar Whitmore a reclusive aristocrat with a penchant for the occult, his world begins to unravel.
Locked inside Whitmore’s study, Alistair finds more than mere evidence of a missing nobleman. Cryptic writings scrawl across parchment in languages that should not exist. Sketches of impossible geometry twist and shift when he looks away.
As he delves deeper, Alistair awakens something ancient, something vast. A voice stirs at the edges of his thoughts, neither malicious nor kind, simply performing its function.
A system offering knowledge beyond human understanding, skills that bend the very fabric of reality. But with every answer, the world around him grows stranger. Time slips. Faces change. The air itself hums with something unseen.
The more he learns, the more the world distorts, revealing truths no man was meant to know. He is no longer just an investigator; he is a witness, a participant in something far greater than himself. But there is no turning back.
Because the deeper he goes, the more he might come to understand that maybe Lord Whitmore did not simply disappear.
Maybe he escaped….and Alistair may soon wish he had done the same.
