The Library of Forgotten Lives

A Journey into the Shadows of History

By Mira LangstonPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Hidden deep within a dense forest lies an ancient library that no one has seen and lived to tell the tale. Known in whispers as the "Library of Forgotten Lives," it contains books chronicling the lives of people who have been erased from history. These are individuals who made world-changing decisions, only for fate to undo them—kings, inventors, and ordinary people whose stories never reached the pages of any history book.

Nia, a disillusioned archivist, stumbles upon a fragment of a map that leads to this mythical library. Burdened by the mystery of her missing brother, who vanished five years ago without a trace, she embarks on a quest to uncover the library’s secrets. What she finds there defies imagination: books that glow, shelves that stretch into infinity, and a librarian who doesn’t age but warns of the cost of reading too deeply.

As Nia begins searching for clues about her brother, she uncovers a forgotten war between two factions: one that erases people from existence and another that fights to preserve their legacies. The deeper she dives into the library's secrets, the more she realizes her own life might be one of the erased—and her brother’s disappearance may not have been random after all.
