To Hear a Blank Page

SOME BOOKS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE READ. Dr. Arin Ray is a historian with nothing left to lose. His reputation is in ruins. His career is over. When a secretive foundation offers him a final, desperate chance, he takes it: excavate the mythical Saraswati Library, a place of legend supposedly consumed by a cursed fire a century ago. Deep beneath the ashes, Arin finds a vault that was never touched by the flames. It's a discovery that could restore his name. But his triumph turns to terror. The library is full. And every single book is blank. Driven by a desperate obsession, Arin discovers the library's horrifying secret. The pages are not read with the eyes, but felt. When a single drop of his blood touches the parchment, he doesn't see words. He hears the unfiltered agony, the final, terrifying moments of those who died in the fire. The books are not archives. They are prisons. Arin believes he has found the ultimate historical source. He "reads" book after book, addicted to the power, descending into a madness of borrowed memories. But he is not the only one listening. He has awakened the entity that was trapped within the pages. A vast, ancient, and hungry intelligence. It is the Silence. It has been waiting. And it finally has a new key. In a library where every blank page is a trap, the price of knowledge is sanity... and your soul.
