THE LAST LAMP

In the 2100s, the coast has redrawn the world-and the past is for sale.

Archaeologist Sahana Iyer signs onto a salvage dive at the drowned edge of Wardenclyffe and uncovers a relic that shouldn't still exist: a "lamp" tied to the disappearance of Nikola Tesla's lost writings. It comes with a message she doesn't understand yet, delivered by a raven that shouldn't be able to talk...and a black cat that refuses to leave.

The decoded folio doesn't lead to treasure. It leads to a desert circuit-part forgotten technology, part old magick-capable of pulling a body backward through time. A fountain of youth, yes. But also a binding curse that turns "eternal life" into ownership.

Now a longevity-obsessed corporation and the ancient hunger behind the curse both want the same thing: a door they can open.

To survive, Sahana and her team will have to outrun surveillance, sabotage, and their own temptation-because the most dangerous part of forever isn't dying.

It's what you become when you don't.

Perfect for readers who love:

• techno-archaeological thrillers
• occult mystery + grounded magick
• near-future suspense and corporate danger
• ravens, cats, and reluctant heroes
• found documents, secret vaults, and forbidden science
