The Archivist’s Oath

Pages of the Vanished: The Archivist's Oath

Book Two in the "Pages of the Vanished" Series

In a world where memories decay faster than history can be recorded, the last archivists serve as both guardians and mourners of what was.

When former field scribe Orah is pulled from exile and tasked with recovering the lost Codices of the Bloom, she enters a landscape scarred by time, overgrowth, and something far worse — forgetting itself. Cities swallowed by flora. Names erased from stone. Technology that no longer remembers its purpose.

But Orah is not alone. Shadows stalk her path — some human, some far stranger. Among them is the Echowalker, a remnant of a failed experiment in consciousness migration, whose motives are as elusive as the memories it scavenges. As Orah navigates hostile ruins and untrustworthy allies, she begins to unravel a chilling truth: the Codices were never meant to preserve knowledge. They were meant to control it.

The Archivist's Oath is a haunting journey into a fractured future, where the line between truth and memory blurs, and even the most sacred vows may be lies in disguise.

Combining the decayed wonder of Annihilation, the archival intrigue of Inkheart, and the eerie mystery of Silo, this second installment expands the world of Pages of the Vanished into a multi-layered epic of loss, obsession, and legacy.
