Every record in Hermit can be read. Except the one inside him. Aryn grew up on the docks of Darka, working long days and helping support the grandfather who raised him. His future seemed ordinary—until a chance encounter drew him into Hermit, the organization that transformed Amrita into the foundation of the modern world. As Aryn adapts to life as a Hermit operative, routine patrols begin leading to things they were never supposed to find: forgotten ruins, ancient technology, and traces of a past that should have remained buried. The deeper he goes, the more often he encounters people who seem to know something about him that he doesn't know himself. Some watch. Some wait. And some have been waiting for a very long time. A slow-burn progression fantasy featuring ancient mysteries, hidden histories, exploration, and a protagonist caught between the modern world and the legacy of something far older.
