Following professional disgrace at the Santiago Conference, Lourdes sees this discovery as a chance for redemption. With young prodigy Ana Lucia and the enigmatic Tomas Vidal, she ventures to the coordinates where they witness the impossible—an entire city appearing from nothingness. During their exploration, they discover the city exists at the intersection of multiple dimensions, preserved through advanced astronomical engineering by ancient civilizations. When the city begins to fade, they barely escape, but return with a fully sanctioned expedition during the next alignment. In the final confrontation at the city's center, Lourdes faces the mysterious Cartographers' Guild who seek to control the city's power. Making a crucial decision, she integrates herself with the city's consciousness by entering a vortex with a key artifact. This connection transforms her understanding of reality and gives her responsibility as the city's new guardian, preserving its multidimensional knowledge for humanity while navigating the dangerous attentions of those who would exploit it.
