In the depths of Edinburgh's ancient library, where the shelves groan with forgotten truths, Dr. Elias Verne discovers a book that should not exist. One that foretells his own death, in his own handwriting.As pages vanish, names are erased, and shadows begin to wear familiar faces, Elias is pulled into a hidden history where memory is fragile and erasure is intentional. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers a pattern of disappearances stretching back centuries. Each one tied to a manuscript that rewrites itself and a name that must never be spoken.With the help of a sharp-eyed detective and a ghost from his past, Elias races against time to decipher a mystery that has already claimed lives and may already know how his story ends.The Erased Archivist is a haunting blend of gothic suspense and speculative mystery, where truth is a flickering candle in an archive of shifting shadows. Read carefully.Because once your name is written in the ledger, it cannot be unwritten. The Archive Files series: The Black BothyThe Drowned FjordThe Erased ArchivistHoldfast (Coming June 2026)
