Milton does not welcome strangers with noise, but with a deep silence that stretches from the cold fields to the old houses that hide forgotten stories behind their walls. There, Ewan finds himself facing a mysterious well he was forbidden to approach, a woman who raised him without giving him any key to his past, and a dog that never stops barking whenever night falls, as if warning of something unseen.
Ewan carries nothing from his childhood except a haunting emptiness: no photographs, no names, and no memory explaining how he arrived in this village. Yet Milton acts as if it has known him for a long time, as if the earth itself holds his secret. From the depths of the well, a faint whisper rises, suggesting that it knows more than it should.
The more Ewan tries to uncover the truth, the more he finds himself facing deeper layers of mystery, where the secrets of the village become intertwined with his forgotten past, and his search for his memories becomes a journey toward a truth that perhaps was meant to remain buried.
A novel about a man searching for the fragments of his lost memory, a village hiding its secrets beneath the ground, and the unsettling truth that silence can sometimes be more terrifying than words. Because some nights do not come by accident, and some memories, no matter how deeply buried... always find their way back.
