The Language of the Stone
- An Authorised Case File of Dr. Elowen Carne
“Every monument is a sentence the earth is still writing.”
Hired to assess the tranquil Tregarren Valley for a luxury eco-estate, Dr. Elowen Carne, The Listener, expects a straightforward job. Instead, she finds a war of words. The developer promises a sustainable future; a charismatic bard, Denzil Tregear, speaks of an ancient language etched into the very landscape - a language the new houses will erase.
Guided by Denzil, Ellie’s unique gift allows her to feel the valley’s echoes: not as ghostly tales, but as pure, resonant meanings. The ‘Sister Stone’ holds the essence of a sworn bond. The ‘White Well’ echoes with the memory of justice. But the key to it all - a legendary stone called Men Skrifa - is missing, deliberately erased from the map centuries ago.
As the developer uses every tool to discredit her, Ellie must find the lost stone. To save the valley, she must prove that its hills and streams are not merely scenery, but pages of a living dictionary… and that some words, once lost, can never be spoken again.
And in the end, it is the stone that speaks.
A luminous blend of mystery and memory.
