There is knowledge that shapes the world, and then there is knowledge that unravels it.
In the decaying city Valunthor, where history itself has been rewritten too many times to be trusted, a lost fragment of the Arcane Testament resurfaces — a scripture capable of altering reality at the cost of one’s humanity. Those who read it gain power beyond comprehension, the deeper they understand, the farther they drift from sanity.
Elias Veyne, a fallen historian, never sought power. But when he stumbles upon a passage that should not exist—one that whispers of The First Author and the truth behind reality itself—he is thrust into a web of conspiracies, where secret factions, inhuman beings, and entities beyond mortal comprehension all seek the same thing: the ability to rewrite reality itself.
But some truths were never meant to be known. And those who seek them never remain the same.
