Elliot Briggs has spent his life adrift, a privileged man indulging in the idle luxuries of London’s gentleman’s clubs, always wanting more but never knowing what. But when his sister Margaret arrives with unsettling news—their family home is gone, their father ensnared in secrecy, and a cryptic scheme awaiting him in the Scottish Highlands—Elliot is thrust into an expedition beyond his comprehension.
 
Forced into action for the first time in his life, his restless yearning for purpose transforms into something far greater than he ever expected. Whispers of a lost city, warnings etched across centuries, and the ever-present toll of unseen bells weave a mystery far older and more treacherous than they imagined. 
 
But as the path ahead unfolds, Elliot must ask himself: can he rise to the mantle of head of his family, step out of his father’s shadow, and face the dangers that await—or will he crumble beneath the weight of a destiny he never sought?
