Description
Almost two centuries have passed since the mysterious tragedy of the Poseidon's Fury left its entire crew slaughtered without a trace of the assailant. Only a single shred of evidence remains - a cursed scroll clutched in the captain's severed hand. Themistonoe, an ambitious scholar from Thebes, is determined to solve the unanswered question that has eluded generations. With a hefty reward from the Archives, she assembles an eclectic team spanning different backgrounds. Her quest takes her from dusty archives to far-flung lands, piecing together clues scattered across centuries. Their search leads to the foreboding Willow of Ishtar, where deep in the soil, they find the first threads connecting to a man named Echephron from antiquity. His journal opens new revelations but also implicates him in dark acts. Following his trail to his secluded ruins, the group recovers more remnants, tying back to the fated voyage. What horrors will be uncovered as the layers of mysteries peel away? An ominous phrase within the scroll's bindings-"Ki-ur Kakkabu"-holds more profound meaning than anyone could realise. Through cunning deductions and dangerous journeys, Calliope and her allies slowly decode its true nature. But summoning what lies beyond may unleash terrors mankind was never meant to face. Only by challenging the boundaries of science and delving into shadowy pasts will the truth be illuminated at last. Contained in this epic exploration are answers to the doom that befell Poseidon's sailors so long ago and secrets humanity must never know.
