Uncharted, unmarked, unknown to the rest of the world, the island rising from the sea is a creature of its own. When Thomas happens upon it one morning, he can barely resist it's intrigue. It draws him near like a siren singing to sailors, it beckons him like a friend with secrets to tell...
And secrets it has indeed.
On the summit of the island's single mountain lay the ruins of an observatory. Abandoned in a hurry, left to waste away with the lifetime research of an Astronomer within it.
Across the vast plane of time, the voice of the Loneliest Astronomer on Earth touches Thomas. Together they dream and despair, they fear and hope. Together, they wander alone. And together, they unravel the secrets of the island and the skies alike.
