Description
A weary narrator joins a mysterious pilgrimage eastward with a secretive spiritual League, believing the journey will lead to renewal, wisdom, and a deeper understanding of humanity. As the travelers move through landscapes both literal and symbolic, the expedition becomes an exploration of faith, memory, community, and the search for meaning. Lyrical and allegorical, this concise novel reflects on the tension between individual ambition and spiritual devotion, as well as the transformative power of belonging to something larger than oneself.
