Ash & Circuit

**SOME PLACES WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE FOUND.**

Techno-archaeologist Kira Serrin makes a living uncovering the secrets buried beneath the sprawling city of Nocturne. But when a mysterious artifact disables Glyph, her quick-witted mechanical companion, for exactly 4.7 seconds, it reveals something impossible: coordinates to a location erased from every modern map.

Beyond the ruins of forgotten highways lies an immense forest growing through the remains of an ancient technological civilization. Towering structures disappear beneath centuries of vegetation. Machines move silently among the trees. And deep below the roots, something extraordinary continues to operate.

**The forest isn't dead. It's still working.**

But Kira isn't the only one searching.

Parallax Recovery Systems has dispatched an armed expedition to reclaim the technology hidden within the forest. As competing agendas collide and the ancient machines begin responding to their presence, Kira discovers that the greatest danger may not be what remains buried-but what happens when someone tries to take it.

With Glyph at her side, Kira must unravel the mysteries of a forgotten civilization, survive the forces determined to control its secrets, and confront evidence suggesting her own history is connected to a world everyone else has forgotten.

**Some discoveries change what we know about the past.**

**Others change everything.**
