Prologue:

The town of Beacon Hills had always been a place of mystery, but for Javi Garcia, it was just home—until he disappeared. At the age of 14, Javi left without a word, his family moving overseas, leaving his childhood friends, Scott and Stiles, behind. Years passed, and the memories of the mischievous, carefree Javi faded into the past.

Now, at 18, Javi is back. He's older, sharper, and more observant than before, with a keen sense for puzzles and a mind that never stops questioning. But as he returns to his hometown, he quickly realizes that Beacon Hills is not the same as he remembers. There are secrets here—secrets that run deeper than he could have imagined. And they're tied to a past he can no longer escape.

With new questions on his mind and the shadows of the past haunting him, Javi must navigate the complexities of returning home, reconnecting with old friends, and uncovering the dark forces that threaten everything he holds dear.
