Return to the Empire: The Lost

By Lene Soren

During the sacred days of Pchum Ben, the past listens.

Dara Chea has always believed history is something you carry, not something you conquer. As a guide at Angkor Wat, he knows its stones, its silence, and the stories that linger just beneath the surface. His best friend, Vannak Tran, knows the roads instead-the shortcuts, the engines, the ways forward that don't require reflection.

When a familiar path leads them somewhere it shouldn't, neither of them realizes they have stepped into something that has been waiting.

Return to the Empire: The Lost is a quiet, mythic journey of memory, reverence, and the responsibility of witnessing what still lives when the world forgets to look.
