Alexander Weaver

In the heart of Murano, where the air hangs thick with the scent of saltwater and the ghosts of silica dust, glassblower Mikael Vance sees more than shimmering reflections in his molten creations. He sees the future. A shattered wine glass foreshadows a lover’s quarrel. A fractured vase mirrors a shipwreck yet to occur. His latest commission, a magnificent chandelier for a high-society masquerade ball, whispers of a masked figure falling, a splash of crimson against marble, and a ballroom’s joyous revelry dissolving into horrified silence.

Driven by this chilling premonition, Mikael plunges into the shadowed canals and whispered secrets of Venice, seeking answers in the forgotten lore of the Luminari, a vanished guild of glass artisans who wove time itself into their creations. His search intertwines with Cassandra Allen, a fiery historian captivated by the Luminari's lost legacy, and Justin Velez, a haunted archivist whose knowledge is shadowed by a deep-seated fear. Together, they uncover a hidden history, a dangerous race against time, and a mythical artifact—the Oculus Temporis—capable of manipulating fate itself.

But the future isn't fixed, and Mikael’s attempts to avert tragedy have unforeseen consequences. At the glittering masquerade ball, beneath the watchful eyes of Venice's elite, his premonition unfolds…but not as he foresaw. A splash of crimson stains the marble, a figure falls, but it's not the one he envisioned. He has shifted the target, a chilling echo of the Luminari’s belief that every thread of time, once pulled, creates ripples across eternity.

Now, with the Oculus Temporis resurfacing and a hidden adversary manipulating events from the shadows, Mikael must confront not only the terrifying power of his gift but also the intricate tapestry of cause and effect. He’s not just a glassblower anymore. He’s a weaver of time, caught in a desperate struggle to protect those he loves and prevent the unraveling of reality itself. In a city of masks and secrets, where the past whispers and the future shimmers, Mikael must learn that the true power of the Luminari lies not in controlling time, but in understanding its delicate, ever-shifting dance.
