The book The Hermetic Inscription by Stephen Shubrai is a dark, psychological mystery infused with gothic and esoteric elements. It follows the entangled fates of two protagonists, Dea Turner and Prex Donovan, as they uncover forbidden secrets hidden within an enigmatic painting known as The Veil of Elysium. Set in 1947 New York, the story navigates a world of high society, underground dealings, and ancient knowledge that threatens to unravel their perception of reality.
As Dea, a seemingly ordinary gallery clerk, stumbles upon cryptic messages hidden within the art world, she is drawn into a dangerous game of deception, fate, and obsession. Prex Donovan, a man with an unreadable past and unsettling influence, becomes both her guide and adversary in deciphering the mysteries that lie within the painting. Together, they are plunged into a world where reality is distorted, history is rewritten, and the cost of knowledge may be far greater than they ever imagined.
The novel blends elements of psychological horror, mysticism, and noir, creating an atmospheric journey filled with unreliable perceptions, shadowy figures, and moral ambiguity. As Dea and Prex chase after the truth, they must decide whether the knowledge they seek is worth the inevitable destruction it may bring.
With an intricate plot, haunting prose, and a chilling exploration of obsession and lost knowledge, The Hermetic Inscription is a thought-provoking and eerie novel that lingers in the mind long after the final page.
