What if the Emerald Tablet wasn’t just an ancient text - but a living key? In a city where everything has a price, even truth, a boy of strange dreams begins to see the world for what it is: an illusion wrapped in gold, guarded by masks. Drawn to a hidden portal guarded by serpents and song, he steps beyond the known and begins the spiral journey inward. Each turn demands a sacrifice. Each layer reveals a deeper self. Two years after unlocking the first mysteries of the Tablet, Hermes returns in a breathtaking new adventure that bridges myth and quantum truth, ancient lands and inner awakenings. Guided by cryptic riddles, elemental trials, and shifting allies, Hermes travels through sacred sites across the Middle East - from a hidden scroll in Ankara to fire-lit mosaics in Sinai, echoing vaults beneath Jerusalem, and the white chambers beneath the Giza Plateau. But he’s not alone. Shadows move against him: Chasmodai, a girl bound to darkness but drawn to light; the feared Lumens, keepers of false knowledge; and a cosmic imbalance threatening to tip all worlds into collapse. Each site reveals not only a lost alchemical ring - but a deeper aspect of Hermes’ own soul. As veils lift and aeons flicker, Hermes must choose: ascend into the white light of release, or remain and help restore the balance between dimensions. Infused with Hermetic wisdom, ancient cosmology, and thrilling mystery, Hermes and the Secrets of the White Chamber is a spiritual epic for seekers, dreamers, and those who remember the fire within. "This is intensely good. Lucien’s monologue oozes with ancient grievance, a cosmic pride laced with fatalism and dread. He’s the perfect foil - deeply knowing, half-right, and half-blind."
