Lost in Translation

Some languages are forgotten.
Some truths are buried.
Some symbols refuse to stay silent.

Elena Marchetti has built her career around dead languages, ancient scripts few can read and fewer still understand. As a respected scholar of early Mediterranean texts, she believes translation should remain precise, controlled, and emotionally distant.

Until a single fragment breaks every rule.

When Elena encounters a newly uncovered inscription that resists all known interpretations, she is drawn into a pattern of symbols that appears across cultures, eras, and forgotten histories. What begins as an academic mystery quietly becomes something more dangerous, a confrontation with meaning itself and with the guilt Elena has carried for fifteen years.

As the symbols repeat, questions surface that scholarship alone cannot answer.

Who decides what a text means?
What happens when language evolves beyond words?
What if translation is not about accuracy, but awakening?

Pulled between her disciplined professional world and an unsettling emotional undercurrent she can no longer ignore, Elena must choose whether to protect what she knows or follow the symbols toward a truth that refuses to remain buried.

Lost in Translation is a slow burn romantasy blending literary fantasy, mystery, and subtle romance. Rich in symbolism and intellectual tension, it explores memory, power, and the quiet cost of remaining unread by others and by oneself.

This is Book One of The Syntax Quartet, a series where language shapes destiny, symbols carry memory, and nothing ever means only one thing.
