Shattered Legacy

Arvalas has learned to live with its past. But there are things the city would rather not revisit. When an ancient tower on the Square of Silence catches fire — sealed for nearly two centuries — it reads, at first, as another tragedy. Then it becomes clear the fire was no accident. Torgom is the only one who notices something is off, but the closer he looks, the faster the city starts giving up its stories. Ordinary conversations turn into scraps of someone else's history. Forgotten names surface where they have no business being. Events begin to repeat with a precision that makes coincidence hard to argue. At some point it becomes obvious: this isn't about one fire or one tower. Something has been bound to this place for a long time — and it hasn't gone anywhere. The further Torgom goes, the less certain he is that he understands what he's dealing with at all. And something else becomes clearer: some things don't disappear just because someone tried to wipe them out. They wait. Until someone looks again.
