The Grand Banks, 1755.
The fog does not roll; it exhales. And hidden within the stifling gray of the Atlantic, something waits for Lieutenant Thomas Halloway.
Halloway is a man of the Royal Navy, a scholar of the Enlightenment, and a believer in the rational world. He trusts charts, sextants, and the sturdy timber of the HMS Acheron. But when the fog clears, it reveals a vessel that defies all reason: a blindingly white craft, smooth as bone, devoid of sails, floating in the silence of the deep ocean.
Inside lies a corpse dressed in fabrics unknown to history. And in the dead man’s hand, a small slab of seamless black obsidian.
It is cold. It is heavy. And when Halloway touches it, it ignites.
Suddenly, a man of the 18th century holds a window into a terrifying, vibrant future. The stone captures souls in impossible clarity...moving paintings, disembodied voices, and glowing runes that count down the minutes of a dying light.
As Halloway becomes obsessed with the "ghosts" trapped in the glass, he is forced to bring the artifact to the jagged shores of New Providence, where the fanatical Lord Governor Corvus sees not a miracle, but a demon to be purged.
With the light in the stone fading and religious hysteria rising, Halloway must protect the impossible object and the memories it holds. But he is about to discover that the greatest horror is not the magic of the future, but the fragility of the legacy we leave behind.
