Seren Sorel was once a rising specialist in sacred landscapes. Then she authenticated a set of devotional fragments that turned out to be forged, and her career collapsed into consultancy scraps and side doors. When a foundation invites her to join a small expedition to a remote alpine pass - a medieval penitential site where a natural stone arch marks the threshold of an ancient pilgrimage route - she accepts, knowing she has been chosen not for trust but for usefulness.
The team is small and uneasy: a conservator with whom Seren shares an unresolved history, a priest whose faith is more rigorous than comfortable, a mountain guide who refuses to take the route beneath the arch, a documentarian who sees too much, and a logistics officer holding everything together through sheer competence. Their task is straightforward - assess and recover devotional material exposed by thaw before the site destabilises. But as they ascend, the mountain begins to work on them in ways none of their disciplines can cleanly explain.
Memory intrusions. Phrases that don't belong to the speaker. Recognitions that arrive without context. The arch, it becomes clear, is not merely a geological formation on a pilgrim's road. It is a place where burdens were once spoken aloud and assigned - and where some of those assignments went terribly wrong. What the team uncovers is not a cache of relics but evidence of a historical crime: confession corrupted, guilt transferred, and a woman's testimony rewritten to protect the institution that heard it.
The Arch is a literary novel about expertise and integrity, sacred places and institutional failure, and what happens when a group of careful, compromised people must decide whether the truth they've found is worth the cost of carrying it down the mountain intact.
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
Simon Rudd writes atmospheric fiction filled with mystery, imagination and unsettling discovery. From supernatural mysteries and gothic fantasy to dystopian adventures, his books invite readers into strange worlds where hidden truths wait beneath the surface.
Based in Portsmouth, UK, Simon draws inspiration from coastal landscapes, folklore, history and the uncanny. He is also a painter, and that visual sensibility runs through his fiction in vivid settings, strong mood and memorable imagery.
New readers can begin with the Blackwater Quay Mysteries for paranormal intrigue, or The Oz Protocol for a darker dystopian journey.
