Dr. Aris Thorne, a brilliant but skeptical historian, has built his career on facts and tangible evidence. His world is turned upside down when he acquires a mysterious, centuries-old manuscript penned by a 12th-century scribe named Elias. The manuscript is not a record of history, but a chillingly personal account of a life Aris begins to remember as his own.
Plagued by vivid, violent nightmares that mirror the manuscript’s tales of crusades, betrayal, and a forbidden love with a woman named Isabeau, Aris’s grip on reality begins to fray. The words of Elias speak of a powerful, hidden order, a cursed relic, and a vow of vengeance that echoes through time.
As Aris deciphers the cryptic text, he discovers that the figures from Elias’s past have counterparts in his present life: a charismatic colleague, a mysterious new benefactor, and a captivating archivist who bears an uncanny resemblance to Isabeau. The manuscript is not just a historical document; it is a warning. The ancient conspiracy that led to Elias’s tragic end is not over, and the souls involved are bound to repeat their deadly dance. Aris must embrace the memories of a life he never lived to uncover a truth that will either save him or see history repeat its most brutal chapter.
