The First Witness
A photojournalist's routine assignment in Mauritius becomes a descent into cosmic horror when a strange beam from the sky awakens an ancient intelligence beneath Daruty Forest. As villagers are possessed, a child becomes the vessel for a cosmic memory, and reality itself begins to unravel, Emma Laurent must confront a hierarchy of beings-the Sovereign, the Guardian, the Architect, and the Eye-and make a choice that will determine humanity's fate. With the countdown to the Second Evaluation on June 18, 2126, the future of existence hangs in the balance, and the forest remembers everything.
