The Oval Glass

An ancient glass holds secrets that span centuries. Two artists face their darkest hour. One wind brings the end of everything they know.

When an evil wind descends upon the Intona Art Institute, artists Paul and Niev find their world-and their sense of self-shattered. Unable to create, haunted by existential dread, they flee in opposite directions, seeking answers that seem impossibly out of reach.

Paul's journey leads him to the sun-drenched hills of southern France, where love blooms with pregnant Delphine-until a mysterious illness threatens to steal away everything he's found. Meanwhile, Niev's desperate escape to Colombia becomes a living hell when he's kidnapped by ruthless cartel members in Medellin, held captive with no hope of rescue and death closing in.

But threading through their separate stories is something far more powerful than either man realizes: an unassuming piece of oval glass, yellow and ochre-tinted, with an otherworldly ability to magnify more than just images. This ancient artifact has been moving through space and time with hidden purpose, touching lives across centuries-from prehistorical South America to pre-Revolutionary France-and now it holds the key to their salvation.

Part literary thriller, part mystical journey through time, The Oval Glass weaves together friendship, love, and the search for meaning in a world where the ordinary and extraordinary collide. Some objects choose their owners. Some mysteries demand to be solved. And sometimes, salvation comes from the most unexpected places.

Will Paul and Niev discover what the glass has been trying to show them before it's too late?
