The Eclipse of Thalasyx

During a routine pilgrimage, the Clavis Torqueo Monks encounter a mysterious beacon drifting in the cosmic web. What seems like space debris becomes a gateway to the lost history of Thalasyx—a world whose civilization collapsed eight centuries ago. The beacon contains the story of Eryndrax the Disruptor, who introduced forbidden concepts to a society built on shared consciousness and collective harmony. But as the monks experience this history through advanced memory technology, they must question what they're being shown. Was Thalasyx truly the perfect utopia described in the records? Or does Eryndrax's account reveal darker truths about unity enforced at any cost? As the boundary between memory and reality dissolves, the monks find themselves caught between competing narratives—each more compelling than the last. In a galaxy where minds can be rewritten and histories revised, how do you know which version of truth to believe? Paul Michael Peters crafts a psychological thriller exploring the weaponization of memory, the seductive power of belonging, and the terrifying possibility that salvation and subjugation may be indistinguishable. A haunting tale that will leave you questioning free will and the stories we tell ourselves about paradise lost.
