Incorporeus221B
Synopsis
"Some civilizations do not vanish; they merely learn to withdraw to those realms where human ambition can no longer reach them."
In the dawn of time, before maps fractured the earth and names faded into oblivion, there existed Eshmúnia. It was not a civilization carved of stone and war, but a realm of harmony and frequencies, where creation attained the pinnacle of understanding under the guidance of the enigmatic Ananké-Palas. Yet, perfection exacts a toll: the weariness of centuries and the onset of the Dissonance now threaten to unravel everything.
Thousands of years later, in contemporary London, Elías lives a fractured existence. By day, he is a history professor attempting to explain the past through cold dates and sterile facts. By night, he stands as the guardian of an ancestral pact: the final custodian of an invisible city that endures solely within the plane of Somnus Incorporeus.
As the balance between waking life and rest begins to fracture, Elías realizes that surrendering his biological eternity was only the beginning. Amidst archives corroded by time, visions of glacially beautiful landscapes, and the silent, watchful presence of Morpheus, Elías must safeguard the memory of Eshmúnia before modernity and oblivion swallow the last sanctuary of the unreal.
A lyrical novel of dark fantasy that explores the boundaries of consciousness, the weight of historical memory, and the tragic beauty of that which only exists when we close our eyes.
