From the Land Beyond Beyond

Description

For thirty years, Elias Marrow has tended the lighthouse on the windswept isle of Virelay, a forgotten rock in the ocean where no ships pass and no voices answer the radio. The world has moved on—automated lights, GPS, satellites. Still, Elias keeps the flame burning, out of duty, habit… and an old promise.

Then, one dusk, a ship appears on the horizon—sleek, black-hulled, and unlike any vessel Elias has ever seen. From it disembark passengers who claim to be from Nareth, a fabled civilization believed to have vanished beneath the sea thousands of years ago.
Elegant and soft-spoken, the Narethians plead for shelter. They speak of stars aligning, of ancient doors reopening, of a home that was never truly lost—only hidden. As days pass, strange phenomena begin to stir across the island: the tides shift unnaturally, the animals behave oddly, and Elias starts dreaming in languages he never learned.

Torn between his long-standing isolation and a rising dread, Elias must confront a terrible choice. Are these visitors emissaries… or harbingers? And is the light he’s kept all these years meant to guide—or to warn?
