The Ember Protocol: Book III - The Infinite Knot THE RULES WERE LIES.THE FIRE IS ALIVE.AND THE VOID IS WATCHING YOU READ THIS.They told you time was a garden-that memories could be pruned, that sparks could be delivered without consequence.They were wrong.The Library is burning.The Child is not the savior, but the scar.And the Second Courier walks backward through history, scissors in hand, to cut the world free of its oldest wound: you.As Talia, Elias, and Elara unravel the Architect's final secret, they discover the truth behind the Protocol: It was never about preserving time.It was never about protecting us.It was a cage-built to keep the Void from noticing the story.But the cage is broken.The ink is crawling backward.And the last ember is about to go out.Rule Zero: The flame cannot exist without the Void.The Void? It needs nothing.And it's already here.
