Page-turner
Absolutely gripping novel with complex characters, masterfully crafted mysteries and breadcrumbs, and such a unique, vivid aesthetic the world came alive in front of my eyes. The themes are painfully relevant. It is obvious just how much love, time, and research has gone into this piece of work – cannot wait for the second novel.

I was constantly noticing things, making theories, getting some of them right and realizing I had completely misunderstood others. But underneath all the history, mythology, science, and world building is a woman who has spent her entire life trying to understand the rules well enough to deserve a place in the world. I don’t think I’ve ever related so deeply to a character whose search for what is truly right eventually forces her to confront how much violence she is willing to commit in the name of it.

I need therapy
This book made me feel seen. The psychological depth blew my mind, with connections to nature, behavior of other people, the way how I feel in society. Masking, pretending, following unwritten rules, instead of being your true self. Morgan was so relatable, the pent up anger issues, need to stand up for herself, the complex morality. And Erwin. Oh god, Erwin…

About
the Author
I’m an autistic philosopher who spent 13 years masking and working hard in corporate marketing, only to quit my job and travel the world full-time for 4 years. With late diagnosed AuDHD, I got back to my childhood dream and biggest obsession: writing books. I’ve spent the recent years writing every day, and loving every minute of it, obsessing over the plot, foreshadowing, and the deeper meaning of my story.
Why&How
Ever since I was little, I loved archeology and adventures. After traveling all around the world, exploring many archeological sites, now I have first-hand experience that can translate into my stories. But with my deep love for gothic and curiosity about the dark side of humanity, it turned into a dark archeological adventure story.
