West Seneca, 1852 A village carved from the edge of wilderness, where the hush of the trees conceals a history too old to name. Nestled between the encroaching forest and the fading light of civilization, West Seneca is a place suspended in time-quiet, insular, and steeped in unspoken lore. Its cobbled paths and weathered homesteads whisper of generations who settled, endured, and learned not to ask too many questions. The woods that border the village are thick with mist and memory, avoided by all but the most reckless, and spoken of only in fragments: a child's rhyme, a grandmother's…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
West Seneca, 1852 A village carved from the edge of wilderness, where the hush of the trees conceals a history too old to name. Nestled between the encroaching forest and the fading light of civilization, West Seneca is a place suspended in time-quiet, insular, and steeped in unspoken lore. Its cobbled paths and weathered homesteads whisper of generations who settled, endured, and learned not to ask too many questions. The woods that border the village are thick with mist and memory, avoided by all but the most reckless, and spoken of only in fragments: a child's rhyme, a grandmother's warning, a glance exchanged over candlelight. Into this hush steps Joseph-young, restless, and brimming with the kind of curiosity that cannot be taught or tamed. He is a dreamer in a town that has long stopped dreaming. Drawn to the edge of the known world, he begins to wander where others dare not tread. The forest calls to him-not with sound, but with silence. With the weight of something waiting. What Joseph uncovers is no mere artifact. It is a relic of impossible origin, buried beneath layers of soil and secrecy, humming with a presence that defies explanation. It speaks not in words, but in symbols etched into stone and glimpses caught in sleep. As he delves deeper, the village begins to shift around him. Neighbors grow distant. Doors close without reason. The woods themselves seem to rearrange, as if resisting his intrusion. The artifact becomes a mirror, reflecting not just forgotten truths but the fears the village has long buried. Joseph finds himself entangled in a web of denial and dread, where folklore bleeds into fact and every answer births a new question. Is the object a key to something ancient? A warning left behind? Or a force that should never have been unearthed? As the boundary between past and present begins to dissolve, Joseph must decide whether to protect the fragile peace of his home or risk everything to expose the truth that lies beneath. The cost of knowledge is steep. And some histories, once awakened, do not sleep again.
