A scholar at heart, she spends her days chasing stories most people dismiss as nonsense-ancient myths, forgotten creatures, and languages no one believes ever existed. To her, every legend holds a fragment of truth waiting to be uncovered. So when she discovers a cathedral hidden deep within the mountains-abandoned, unmarked, and whispered about only in fragments-she knows she's found something extraordinary. Inside, the stone is carved with a strange, feather-like script. Not worn by time. Not shaped by ordinary hands. Alive. As Lillian begins to study and record the markings, she finds herself drawn deeper into the mystery-into something watching, waiting, and far older than the stories she's spent her life chasing. The more she learns, the harder it becomes to leave. Because some places are not forgotten. They are hidden. And some languages are not meant to be understood... only obeyed.
