Long before angels took flight in the heavens and humans walked the earth, there existed another creation—the third creature. Forgotten by time, erased from books, and hidden beneath centuries of silence, their story remains buried in shadows. But not for long...
This book is the untold beginning—a glimpse into the lives of a seemingly ordinary family, unaware of the ancient destiny that awaits them in the quiet village of Monte Cristo.
In the bustling town nestled on the outskirts of a sprawling city, lives a humble and determined man named Smith. For the past three years, Smith has worked tirelessly at Shams, a reputable food agency. A dedicated employee, he's admired for his sincerity and eagerness to learn from his seniors. But behind his calm demeanor lies a dream: to one day open a supermarket of his own. Every extra hour he puts in, every coin he saves, inches him closer to that goal.
His wife, Julie, once a marketing manager at the same company, now works as a freelance accountant for rising startups. Julie and Smith's story began with love at the workplace—quiet glances, shared lunches, long chats after meetings. They married just months after their first spark, and together began building a life based on mutual respect and ambition.
Their joy multiplied with the birth of their daughter, Laura. She was named in memory of Smith's late mother, who tragically passed away in an accident when he was still in school. Now twelve years old, Laura is a brilliant student in Grade 6—quiet, intuitive, and fiercely intelligent. She observes more than she speaks, a thoughtful child who blends creativity with academic excellence.
Four years later, their son Jack was born. Inspired by Smith's love for the Pirates of the Caribbean films, he was named after the daring and witty Jack Sparrow. True to his namesake, Jack is adventurous, cheeky, and full of charm. Although he's not fond of studying, he possesses a creative mind—sketching, storytelling, and outdoor play are his passion.
Despite their differences, Laura and Jack share a deep sibling bond, always looking out for one another. To the outside world, they are a happy family, living simply, working hard, and dreaming big.
But everything is about to change...
They are soon to move to a remote village named Monte Cristo, far from the city's comforts. It's a quiet place, with misty forests and old secrets—a village with a connection to something ancient... something older than time...
What awaits them in Monte Cristo?
What is the story of the third creature?
