In 1704, in a remote Welsh mining village, Ewan descends into the bowels of the earth... and uncovers something that should have remained buried forever. Deep within the mine, the Stone of Vortigern whispers to him, offering the one thing he cannot live without. But what begins as love soon twists into something far more dangerous - a descent marked by greed, sacrifice, and no return. Centuries later, in 2025, in the heart of Barcelona, the echo of that first desire still festers. There, where memory and longing blur, Ewan will learn the truth: the stone does not grant without consequence... it corrupts, it consumes, and in the end, it betrays. For every gift it gives... it takes something far greater in return.
