The Seeing Stone One Who Remains

The One Who RemainsBook One of the Stone Sentinel TrilogyIn the dark basement of Kyiv's scientific archive, Olena Karpenko discovers a notebook no one was meant to find - one that whispers, writes back, and moves on its own. As forgotten expedition reports resurface, so do the shadows they once stirred.Across the city, Maksym Verba - ex-soldier turned historian - uncovers the same name, the same secrets, and a symbol that haunts his dreams.Their fates converge around a lost expedition to the Carpathians in 1925, where silence was a warning, and stone could remember blood.Bound by dreams, history, and something far older than either, Olena and Maksym must follow the echoes of the past - or risk becoming part of it.A chilling, lyrical debut from Volodymyr Savchuk, The One Who Remains blends suspense, folklore, and slow-burning mystery in the haunting heart of Eastern Europe.
