Read, and Be Rewritten
In a world where truth is written, rewritten, and hidden behind ritual and ink, the cities of the Eclipse survive on secrets, debts, and forgotten names. The Loom—an ancient, living fabric of reality—records all things, and erases what it no longer desires.
Ilyan is a selfless scribe with no past, employed by an Archivum that trades in lost truths and memory. When he uncovers a relic that should not exist, it begins to rewrite not just the world around him, but himself. Visions of a different life haunt him. Words in languages never spoken slip into his journals. People he has never met speak as if they know him.
As Ilyan is pulled deeper into the web of forbidden knowledge, secret Orders, living myths, and whispering machines, he begins to question whether he is the reader… or the story itself.
Honestly this novel really surprised me. The writing is beautiful without feeling overdone, and the world feels so alive and detailed. You can tell the author put real care into the characters too — they feel real, not just cardboard cutouts. The story moves at a good pace, with a few minor bumps, but nothing that ruins the experience. Updates have been steady so far, which makes it easy to stay hooked. If you like fantasy that's rich, thoughtful, and a little different from the usual, you should definitely give this a shot. It's criminally underrated right now!
