Solomon is a man of facts, history, and schedules. As a professional tour guide, he's spent his life leading others through the safe, curated stories of the past. But his latest trip isn't on any map.

It begins with a mirror and a repeating symbol, the seal of the Ars Goetia. Solomon finds himself pulled from his orderly life into a fractured reality of grimoires and entities waiting in the dark. Guided by a shadow through a ritualistic nightmare, Solomon's clinical anxiety and obsessive traumatic mind become his greatest liabilities-or perhaps his only tools for survival.

In this dark psychological thriller, the boundary between a collapsing mind and a literal hell blurs. Solomon must make a fateful choice before the path behind him vanishes forever.
