Every 18 years, when the sky goes black at noon, a stone church appears in a field in southern France. It is not on any map. It casts no shadow. And by sunset, it is gone.

This is the story of Dr. Edouard Viremont, an astrophysicist who spent eight years tracing one of the most terrifying discoveries in recorded history. Hidden inside centuries-old Jesuit archives, a Vatican manuscript with its most important pages physically cut out, and the ruins of Cathar country in the Languedoc valley of southern France, he found something that should not exist. A structure that appears only during total solar eclipses. A building with no foundation, no shadow, and no place in any period of human architecture. And beneath it, a pit with no bottom, aligned perfectly with the corona of the eclipsed sun above.

What began as a study of the Saros cycle, the 18-year astronomical clock that governs the recurrence of solar eclipses, became something far darker. Because the church is not appearing. It has always been there. And something beneath it has been rising, one eclipse at a time, for longer than anyone has been watching the sky.

This story draws on real history. The Languedoc valley in southern France, home of the Cathars and their brutal persecution in the 13th century Albigensian Crusade. The real Saros cycle, tracked since ancient Babylon and recorded in the Antikythera Mechanism over 2,000 years ago. The real solar eclipse of 968 AD, described by the Byzantine chronicler Leo the Deacon as the most terrifying celestial event anyone had ever recorded. And the real village of Rennes-le-Chateau, whose church bears the Latin inscription above its entrance that translates to one thing and one thing only.

This place is terrible.

Turn the lights off. This one is long. And it does not end the way you want it to.
