High on Cambodia's Dangrek escarpment, a hidden chamber beneath
Preah Vihear
wakes after centuries of silence. Inside
Wat Dèk Sngob - "The Silent Temple of Sleep"
time moves strangely: minutes outside, days within. The walls don't show history-they map
future
star patterns.
Disgraced astrophysicist
Teth Seng
sees the patterns he once claimed were impossible. Quantum physicist
Dr. Lenna Moriyama
hears a rhythm she can measure but not explain. Conservationist
Sophie Rath
recognizes the place from her grandmother's stories-stories that warned her never to look for it. And
Major Elias Navarro
is sent to keep the discovery quiet while satellites above them begin to fail.
Then the murals shift. A
countdown
starts-tied to distant pulsars-and the world's clocks begin to misbehave. Factions gather: a corporation hungry to sell time itself, a cult certain the temple is a stairway to godhood, and officials who would bury the site forever.
The team must choose:
destroy
the chamber to stop the signal-or
listen
to what it's trying to say.
A sweeping, human science-fiction thriller about patience as technology,
The Temple That Eats Time
asks a simple, dangerous question:
What if the safest way to meet the future... is to sit first?
