About the work
**"THE FORGOTTEN ECHO"**
*A Mythic Fantasy Thriller in the Spirit of Tolkien*
**Some memories are buried for a reason.**
When Éolyn, a orphaned shepherdess, discovers preternatural cave paintings high in the Misty Mountains, she unwittingly awakens an ancient war the world thought was over. The murals thrum with living history—depicting grotesque shadow creatures and the forgotten guardians who once sang mountains to life. But these are more than images. *They are warnings.* And the moment Éolyn touches them, the shadows begin whispering her name.
As unnatural darkness spreads across Middle-earth, Éolyn gathers three unlikely allies—each haunted by the same prophetic dreams: A starsighted sailor who navigates by dead constellations. A dwarven smith whose gemstones trap starlight. A half-elven scholar guarding secrets meant to stay buried. Together, they must decipher the cave’s fragmented song before the final star falls—because whatever imprisoned these horrors last time is breaking. And this time, there are no wizards. No elves. Only echoes of forgotten magic… and them.
**But the deepest shadows hide within.**
The caves hunger. The paintings change when no one’s looking. And as the group uncovers more buried sanctuaries, they realize the truth: Middle-earth itself is alive—mountains as sleeping titans, rivers as sentient veins—and it’s *choosing* them to reweave creation’s original melody. Except the shadows are learning too. Adapting. One companion already hears the void singing lullabies. And if they fail, dawn will never come again.
For fans of *The Shadow of the Wind* and *The Priory of the Orange Tree*, this atmospheric thriller reimagines Tolkien’s world through a lens of cosmic horror and primal magic. Experience a fantasy where:
✔️ Landscapes hold grudges and stars transmit memories
✔️ Every myth has teeth (literally)
✔️ The real battle happens in the liminal spaces between notes
**The mountains are waking. Soon, they’ll choose sides.**
*(Last chance to look away—the first chapter stains your dreams forever.)*
