The Obsidian Archivist

In the eternal twilight of Nocthallow, where the sky never sees the sun, Lucien Valtieri guards the forbidden secrets of the Aetherion Archive—a grand and eldritch library whispered about in myths. A man of elegance and eerie detachment, he is both feared and sought after, for he alone deciphers the knowledge that drives men to madness.

But when a book that bleeds is discovered in the city’s shadowed alleys, Lucien finds himself entwined in a mystery that speaks of an ancient prophecy, forgotten gods, and a fate that may already be written in ink darker than night. With enigmatic allies at his side—a silver-haired alchemist, a cursed swordswoman, and a cunning trickster—Lucien must uncover the truth before it consumes both him and the world itself.

After all, some knowledge is meant to stay buried.
