Three Knots

On the windswept island of Cill Rach, suspended between sea and silence, the Monastery of San Colm嫕 Monastery guards secrets that defy centuries of history and faith. When a medieval letter written in Old Gaelic is discovered hidden in the spine of a long-forgotten manuscript, what was meant to remain buried demands to be heard once more.
Answering the call are Edmund Sinclair, a meticulous and rational English historian, a man of control and discipline, and Duncan Fraser, a Scottish folklore expert, instinctive, chaotic, and accustomed to navigating the ambiguous realms of myth and symbol. Two opposing worldviews, two irreconcilable ways of interpreting reality, forced into collaboration in a place where every certainty begins to fracture.
As the monastery reveals sealed crypts and spaces deliberately erased from official memory, Edmund and Duncan uncover a symbol that is far more than a historical puzzle. It is the core of an ancient system built on power, choice, and renunciation: the Three Knots. Each knot carries a precise meaning and guards a dangerous legacy, along with a temptation that is difficult to resist.
The investigation soon becomes more than an academic pursuit. For Edmund, the island reopens wounds that never fully healed, threatening the fragile balance on which he has built his identity. For Duncan, it is a chance to confront what he has always sensed but never truly faced: that the past is not merely something to be studied, but something that must be lived through.
Amid hidden crypts, forgotten rituals, and power games that transcend time, the boundaries between control and surrender, fear and desire, past and present dissolve. And what emerges from the Chamber of the Three Knots will force both men into an unavoidable choice: remain prisoners of who they once were, or risk everything to imagine a different future.
Will they uncover the hidden truth...
without losing themselves in each other?
