In a remote desert canyon lost to time, a weathered archaeologist uncovers the final thread of a mystery he’s chased his entire life, a forgotten Indigenous city hidden beneath the stone.

But when a mountain lion encounter leaves him broken, bleeding, and alone, survival becomes a brutal reckoning. Blending myth, memory, and a fire-lit confrontation with the past, Library in the Desert is a visceral tale about what we choose to remember… and what was never ours to claim in the first place.
