Infos

The world is fading.  Edinburgh's once vibrant streets now lie draped in an endless twilight, the sun a dying ember in the sky. Alistair Finch, an archivist haunted by fragmented memories, seeks solace in the whispers of the past, poring over forgotten lore in the dusty archives.  His search leads him to the legend of the Labyrinth of Thousand Suns, a shimmering obsidian construct not of this world, a living archive reflecting the light of a thousand vanished suns.
Drawn by an irresistible force, Alistair journeys to the Labyrinth's desolate location overlooking the churning North Sea. Within its shifting obsidian walls, he discovers a kaleidoscope of forgotten eras, vibrant marketplaces teeming with the ghosts of lost civilizations, glacial wastelands whispering of forgotten ice ages.  He encounters spectral echoes of past travelers, some offering cryptic guidance, others twisted into predatory guardians. Among them, the ethereal Elara Vance whispers a chilling prophecy, a prophecy intertwined with a strange, undeniable kinship to Alistair himself.
Beyond the Labyrinth, the world teeters on the brink of chaos. The Chronomasters, manipulators of time, believe they can avert the dying of the sun by rewriting history. Their ruthless leader, Elias Thorne, prepares a dangerous ritual, a manipulation of temporal energy so profound it threatens to unravel the fabric of reality.  Patricia Durham, a skilled Chronomaster wrestling with her conscience, uncovers Thorne's true intentions: not to save the world, but to reshape it in his own twisted image.
Armed with artifacts of forgotten magic - a compass resonating with his lost memories, a cloak woven from the fabric of time, a whispering obsidian shard - Alistair races against time.  He must unravel the secrets of his own fragmented past, his connection to the Labyrinth, and the true nature of the fading sun.  He must stop Thorne, not just to save the world, but to reclaim his own lost history. Patricia, now a fugitive, joins Alistair's desperate fight, her knowledge of the Chronomasters' technology their only hope.  In the incandescent heart of the Labyrinth, the Chamber of a Thousand Suns, where the light of every sun converges, they confront Thorne in a battle that will determine the fate of time itself.  For within the Labyrinth's obsidian depths lies not only the key to the world's survival, but the answer to Alistair's forgotten heritage, and a destiny intertwined with the enigmatic Elara Vance, a destiny he must embrace if he is to restore balance to the fractured timeline and rekindle the light of a thousand suns.
