The Potter’s Last Clay
The village of Brookhollow had always known Thomas the potter—not just as a craftsman, but as a quiet artist whose work seemed touched by something more than skill.

Whispers from the Silk Road
1. The Map in the Attic Kashgar, the ancient city at the crossroads of empires, had always been filled with stories.

The Forgotten Sentence That Rewrote the Universe
For over two millennia, a single sentence tormented the greatest minds in mathematics. It was neither a riddle nor a cryptic prophecy, but a postulate Euclid’s Fifth.
