About This Book

A jaded guide on Ganymede is hired to lead a small expedition into a lethal, overgrown Black Forest toward a ruined tomb-city. The forest contains carnivorous flora and pollen that induces amnesia, forcing the group to rely on scars, improvised antitoxins, and fragile trust. As they penetrate deeper, they confront apparently deathless guardians and the personal obligations that drove the guide back into danger. The tale blends pulpy planetary exploration and ancient menace while examining obsession, the costs of promises, and human endurance against alien ecosystems.
