The story
Six civilizations. One missing mentor. One quiet hearth.
Dr. Zara Cole's mentor — Professor Elena Voss — vanished without a trace from the Riverglass Valley dig site. The university calls it a "voluntary departure." Zara knows better.
Following Elena's coded field notes, she uncovers a hidden network of six ancient civilizations — each one warmer, more strange, and more endangered than the last. And someone called The Hearthbreaker is racing to destroy them first.
Along the way, Zara meets Kai Muro — a mysterious researcher with a missing sister and a way of showing up exactly when she needs him.
