The Erik Mannerheim Saga - Book One
Beneath Prague, something ancient is unraveling.
The Spiral - a hidden structure of memory and forgotten history - was meant to contain the cracks between reality and ruin. But now the Spiral is breaking. And when memory collapses... reality follows.
Erik Mannerheim has spent years trying to outrun his family's legacy - a vanished mother, fractured cities, and the shadows of an old European order that refuses to die. But when a cryptic map and a familiar name draw him to Prague, Erik finds himself walking the same hidden streets his mother did before she disappeared.
The Spiral beneath Prague is coming undone. Doors that were meant to stay closed are opening. Mirrors reflect the wrong faces. And in the fractured alleys of the city, false versions of the past are leaking through.
To survive, Erik must follow the remnants of the Warden Line - the broken network of guardians sworn to protect the Spiral. But the Warden Line is fractured. The Spiral is wounded. And Prague... is remembering him.
In a city of false echoes, buried legends, and distorted memory, Erik must face the version of himself the Spiral wants to keep - and the version it's willing to erase.
Some histories refuse to stay buried. Some cities rewrite themselves. And some wounds... were never meant to close.
Fans of dark folklore, hidden history, and atmospheric urban fantasy will find themselves drawn into The Warden Line: Prague - where memory is dangerous, and the wrong version of reality always finds you.
