The Shard of Montsegur by rakasakar

One discovery. Two timelines. A mystery preserved across eight centuries. 1244: As the Cathar stronghold of Montségur falls, Esclarmonde de Perella dispatches three messengers with fragments of an ancient secret. East to Japan, west to hidden sanctuaries, and one piece concealed within the mountain itself-knowledge too dangerous to exist in one place. Present day: Archaeologist Sophie Durand unearths one of these obsidian fragments at Montségur, covered in symbols that match nothing in conventional history. Her discovery triggers immediate interest from unexpected quarters-the Vatican archives, a mysterious foundation, and a Japanese temple that somehow expected her arrival. As Sophie traces the fragment's connections from France to Japan, she uncovers an extraordinary medieval network spanning continents. The pieces were designed to reunite when specific stars aligned-eight centuries after their separation. Now Sophie realizes she hasn't just found an artifact-she's activated a system spanning centuries. What truth required such elaborate protection? And why is it resurfacing now?

As the Fog thickens, Eleanor confronts a doppelgänger with her face and her father's consciousness fused into the gears. To stop the cult Obsidian Hand from weaponizing time, she must decide: destroy her father's creation, erasing herself and her sister's ghost, or become the Fog's new host. This gothic-steampunk thriller weaves a villain of living memory, a labyrinth breathing with temporal paradoxes, and women defying erasure in a society that fears their brilliance.
