Through the Bronze Veil

In the winter of 1996, a group of patients and staff from a secluded religious mental institution in Britain vanish overnight under strange, supernatural circumstances. Among them is Blythe, a 23-year-old woman of Russian-Greek heritage, whose psychotic disorder, bipolar swings, and autistic traits mark her as both fragile and fiercely unpredictable. Blythe is tethered to reality only by her three loyal Staffie pit bulls, her silent guardians in a world she can barely navigate.
When the survivors awaken, they are no longer in Britain. A swirling wormhole has cast them back in time, landing them in 3000 B.C., at the dawn of the Trojan War, in a world both brutal and mythic. They are stranded in a land of bronze and blood, where gods whisper in shadows, warriors plot in the heat of battle, and survival depends as much on cunning as on courage.
The patients, a group of children, young adults, and older staff, must navigate this alien society without revealing their strange origins. Every gesture, every word could mark them as witches-or worse. Yet the pull of human connection is impossible to resist: forbidden romances ignite between the stranded survivors and the ancient warriors they encounter, stirring desire and danger in equal measure.
Amid the clash of swords and the weight of prophecy, Blythe's powers-her uncanny perception, her unspoken rituals, her connection to the divine-begin to surface. Her presence is both a beacon and a threat, drawing awe and fear from the Greeks and Trojans alike. And as the war begins, the survivors must confront the ultimate question: can they ever return to the world they knew, or are they destined to live-and die-among the myths they once thought were only stories?
