The Margins of Light – Episode 1: Letters That Breathe

In a world where maps breathe and memories inherit the shape of light, one scholar receives a letter that refuses to stay silent.

The Margins of Light follows Dr. Alec Fadel, a professor of comparative mythology whose quiet New York life unravels when a letter written in an ancient hand arrives without a sender, only a single line:

Read where the margins turn to light.

The letter leads to a map that glows when breathed upon, a voice from the past that speaks across oceans, and a journey that will test the boundary between belief and wonder.

Richly poetic and cinematic, Episode 1- Letters That Breathe begins Season One: The Green Isle, an interconnected literary series where myth and modernity collide.

For readers of The Shadow of the Wind, The City & the City, and The Alchemist, this is a story about truth, exile, and the luminous borders between the seen and the unseen.

A literary series by Mohamed Alsaedi.
