The Thirteen GatesSome doors should never be opened. Clara restores ancient manuscripts. Precise. Controlled. Alone. Until a fragment with no origin lands on her desk. Beneath the faded script, a second layer shimmers through. Letters she never learned - yet somehow can read. When she touches the parchment, she sees something. Someone. Then the message on her phone: Don't burn it. It deletes itself.
What Clara doesn't know: She carries something within her. Something ancient. Something that wants to go home. And she's not the only one searching for it. An atmospheric fantasy-psychothriller about hidden worlds, ancient powers - and the question of what we truly fear.
