The Heart of Asteria
What if the greatest mystery in history wasn't meant to be found?
Sarawat Chivaaree has spent his entire life chasing the impossible.
At twenty-four, he is already a renowned historical explorer and treasure hunter, following the footsteps of his archaeologist parents while building a fortune of his own.
He has found forgotten artifacts.
He has uncovered lost ruins.
He has solved mysteries that historians thought would remain unanswered forever.
But his latest expedition changes everything.
Deep inside a forgotten cave in South Africa, Sarawat discovers The Heart of Asteria-a legendary gemstone believed to have belonged to a civilization that vanished centuries ago.
A gemstone that appears to contain a night sky.
A gemstone that seems to be alive.
And a voice that tells him:
Find the other half.
At home, his fiancé Tine has been waiting for him.
They have loved each other since high school and have been engaged for four years. But Sarawat's endless missions have kept their wedding postponed again and again.
Tine finally gives him an ultimatum.
Three months.
Come home.
Marry him.
And don't make him wait again.
Sarawat promises.
But the mystery he has uncovered has already begun to move.
When Sarawat disappears without a trace, Tine is left behind with nothing but memories, unanswered questions, and a box full of letters from the man he loves.
Five years later, seventeen-year-old Gun discovers an ancient symbol in a college library-one he remembers from his missing brother's belongings.
His search for answers leads him to Tin, a young archaeology researcher obsessed with the same forgotten legend.
And neither of them knows that their meeting is not a coincidence.
Because the mystery Sarawat started five years ago...
has never ended.
And the Heart of Asteria is waiting for its second half.
