The change was so smooth it unsettled even those accustomed to hearing two tongues at once. The dockworkers answered his questions, but their voices carried the careful neutrality of men who knew too much was dangerous. They kept their eyes down-until Kai appeared. It began quietly. A spine straightening here, a head lifting there. Then it spread. Men who had slouched under questioning now stood taller. Dockhands turned their faces toward Van Der Berg instead of away. Even sailors from neighboring wharves drifted closer, silent, watchful. No one spoke, but the current had shifted. Van Der Berg felt it immediately. The air seemed to press differently against his collar. He looked up, and there was Kai Sung-pale eyes steady, still as stone, watching. The Dutchman had never met him, yet recognition was instant. Not European, not local, but unmistakably the man who commanded this wharf.

In a forgotten coastal town, there's a place that doesn't appear on maps... but its stories could change the world. In the salt- and fog-scorched town of Lisberg, there's an alley with no official name, known only to its inhabitants as "the alley." It's not just a passageway, but a closed world with its own rules, where the scent of the sea mingles with the smell of coal and forgotten memories. Its smooth stones are its arteries, and the slow, monotonous lives of its residents are its lifeblood. At the heart of this world lives Clara, a talented young woman bound to her ailing father and the endless fishing nets. But in her secret notebook, she sketches other worlds she's never seen, escaping to a life of color and sunshine. Her quiet, gray world is on the verge of exploding. When Lorenzo, a mysterious and charismatic theatrical artist, arrives at the alley with his cart full of masks and promises, he ignites a spark no one knew existed. He sees in Clara a raw talent capable of shaking the world, and in the alley a desperate audience waiting to be awakened from its long slumber. As Lorenzo reveals the repressed secrets and dead dreams of the alley, Clara finds herself torn between two worlds: the suffocating security of her duties and the terrifying freedom promised by his art. Her decision will determine not only her own fate but the fate of everyone in this small community, from Matías, the former sailor with a dark past, to the widowed Isolde who watches everything from her window. "The Stone Veins of the Alley" is an immersive literary novel about the power of art in the face of despair, and about small communities that become both prisons and dreams. It is a moving story of isolation, unspoken love, and the high price we pay for freedom. It is perfect for lovers of deep realism and stories that stay with you long after you've turned the last page.
