In the grand Archive of Eldoria, Celestine Virelle has spent centuries preserving the world’s knowledge, bound by an ancient oath to protect the secrets hidden within its labyrinthine halls. But when she discovers a book that should not exist—a tome that records not only history but the future—her world is upended. The final page foretells a dire prophecy: that she will awaken a being lost to time, the Forgotten One.

As Celestine unknowingly releases the enigmatic entity from its celestial prison, she is thrust into a battle against the very gods who rewrote history to hide an unbearable truth. Guided by the Forgotten One through the ethereal halls of a celestial library, she unravels the lost history of a world before her own, a world deliberately buried by divine hands.

Now hunted by the Keepers, celestial warriors sworn to uphold the false order, Celestine must choose: abandon the truth and return to the life she knew, or embrace the Forgotten One’s knowledge and reshape the fate of Eldoria itself. As ancient forces stir and a battle for the past and future begins, the Librarian must decide where her true allegiance lies. But in a world where truth is power, will unveiling the past lead to salvation—or destruction?

The Arcane Librarian and the Thousand-Year Secret

<p>A Pact of Shadows As Celestine absorbed this revelation, shadowy figures emerged from the ruins. A faction that had long opposed the Keepers—the Order of the Veil—stood before them. Their leader, a masked woman named Lysaria, offered a pact. "We fight for truth, but we do not trust blindly," she warned.</p>

<p>Though hesitant, Celestine knew she needed allies. But the Order of the Veil had their own secrets, and trusting them could be just as dangerous as trusting the gods.</p>
