Archivist Benjamin has spent his life cataloguing the past. He didn't expect the past to start cataloguing him.

It begins with a structure that should not exist — a tower remembered only in brief script, in stones left to waste, returning not in brick, but in policy. Few notice. Fewer survive noticing.

Prometheus didn't think it theft, but a right to capture the eternal fire. He failed, but the Builders who came after would not be denied, and have been constructing an edifice greater than anything built with stone.

Now Benjamin holds the only thing standing between an ancient conspiracy and a nation that's run out of time to remember: a mysterious artifact with a mind of its own. Benjamin is already fighting a war he doesn't understand. The Seven have been watching for a very long time for someone to answer the call again.

What was once dismissed as conspiracy now looks like architecture without the theory.

Can Benjamin and his friends trace the long shadow of the hidden hand back to its source, or is it inevitable that the great work will be finished with him as just another mortal keeper of the covenant?

This is the story of the few who answered the beckoning and became the chosen.
