Yn feistr ar grefft y clo, mae ganddo'r gallu prin i ganfod y ffiniau bregus a wahanant ein byd ni rhag yr hyn sydd yn crynu y tu hwnt. Wedi'i lusgo o'i alltudiaeth gan ysbryd o'i gorffennol, gorfodir Willem i gasglu criw wedi'i hollti ar gyfer un swydd anhygoel olaf: i agor clo'r crypt Aurora. In the desolate heart of the South African Highlands, a man named Willem Strydom reads signs that others cannot see.
A master of the locksmith's craft, he possesses the rare ability to perceive the fragile boundaries that separate our world from what trembles beyond it. Drawn out of his exile by a spirit from his past, Willem is forced to assemble a divided crew for one final, extraordinary task: to open the lock of the Aurora Crypt. Mae'r her ddechreuol yn troi'n hunllef o arswyd seicolegol wrth i'r tim fynd i'r afael ag adeiledd organig a curiadol y gell.

Paranoia becomes their constant companion, and the shadows within them begin to reflect the traitors among their number. For followers of innovative horror and cerebral science fiction, this novel is an exploration of the darkest corners of consciousness.  "Nid oedd arogl ar yr awyr. Yr oedd ganddi wead: llwch mân a chwys breuddwydion yn pydru.
Anadl yr Ucheldir oedd, a chariai Willem Strydom hi yn ei ysgyfaint fel clefyd. Safai ar berth ei ffermdy dadfeilio, ei ddwylo, dwylo cloddwr beddau, dwylo datodwr, yn gafael yn dynn yn y canllaw haearn. Cynnes oedd y metel, ond nid gwres yr haul oedd ynddo. Tarddai o grombil y dur, twymyn araf annaturiol. The air had no scent. It had a texture: fine dust and the sweat of decaying dreams. It was the breath of the Highveld, and Willem Strydom carried it in his lungs like a disease.
He stood on the porch of his dilapidated smallholding, his hands a gravedigger's hands, a dissector's hands clenched around the iron railing. The metal was warm, but the heat didn't come from the sun. It seeped from within the steel, a slow, unnatural fever. O'i flaen gorweddai'r mynyddoedd, nid fel clais, ond fel corff cawr o dan flanced borffor. Nid oedd y cwmwl a gasglai uwch eu pennau'n drwm gan law.
Yr oedd yn drwm gan ddistawrwydd. Distawrwydd trwchus llaith a lyncai bob swn. Before him lay the mountains, not like a bruise, but like a giant corpse beneath a purple blanket. The cloud gathering over them was not heavy with rain. It was heavy with silence. A thick, humid silence that devoured sound. Y tu mewn i'r ty, gwaeth oedd y distawrwydd. Nid absenoldeb swn mohono. Presenoldeb rhywbeth fu farw ers oesoedd oedd, ond yn dal i anadlu.
Y teimlad o rywun y tu ôl i'th ysgwydd oedd, er gwybod bod yr ystafell yn wag. Inside the house, the silence was worse. It wasn't the absence of sound. It was the presence of something that should have long been dead, but still breathed. It was the feeling of someone behind your shoulder, even though you know the room is empty."
