Descrição do livro
The sun was already dipping behind jagged peaks when Dr. Mara Thorne rounded the bend in the rough mountain trail. She paused, brushing a wisp of dark hair from her eyes, and gazed up at the fortress that loomed ahead. Its silhouette—a mass of cracking stone walls, battered towers, and half-collapsed battlements—seemed to absorb the dying light, standing as a monument to some long-forgotten power. A chill ran down her spine, though the air was unseasonably warm. Somewhere, deep within those crumbling walls, something waited.
Mara took a deep breath, tightened the straps of her pack, and stepped forward. The path narrowed, flanked by shattered statues whose hollow eyes watched her approach. Moss and lichen claimed the stone, filling the cracks with pale green life. Yet despite the signs of natural reclamation, the air vibrated with something else—an undercurrent of sound that was almost… alive.
She paused at the threshold. Two massive wooden doors, bound in iron, stood slightly ajar. From between them came a low, haunting sound that trailed off into an echo she could not place. It was not wind, nor was it animal; it was a howl, distant yet unmistakable. It stirred something in her memory—a half-forgotten lullaby her grandmother had sung, a sound both mournful and beckoning.
Mara’s gloved fingers brushed the door’s surface. The iron bands were cold to the touch, intricate rivets forming patterns that echoed the designs carved in the stone walls: interwoven dragons, spiraling tendrils of ivy, and symbols she did not yet understand. Her heart thudded in her chest as she pushed the door open the rest of the way, half-expecting it to resist. Instead, it groaned with a rusty protest and fell back, revealing the fortress’s inner courtyard.
