Read an excerpt

Use this section to offer a short, clean excerpt—enough to establish tone, not enough to exhaust the mystery.

From Chapter One

The map was not supposed to exist. It had no legend, no seal, no signature—only a faint shimmer where ink should have been. When the candlelight struck it just right, the lines lifted, as if the paper remembered the shape of a place it had never been.

Outside, the wind pressed against the window like a question. Inside, the room held its breath. And somewhere beyond the edges of familiar roads, something waited—patient as stone, watchful as flame.

That was the first sign: not danger, not prophecy—just the unmistakable feeling that one step forward would become a decision you couldn’t undo.

Note: Replace the excerpt text with your actual content and ensure you have the rights to distribute it.
