The Olfactory Code

Synopsis

In a world where the air itself is a tapestry of potent aromas, sight and sound pale in comparison to the power of scent. Here, specific fragrances can unlock potent magic, unearth buried memories, or conjure vivid, often prophetic, visions. Elara, a young woman ostracized for her unusually muted olfactory senses, lives on the fringes of this perfumed society. When a series of devastating scent-triggered 'episodes' begin to plague the city, causing widespread chaos and revealing dark secrets, Elara finds herself inexplicably drawn into the investigation. As she navigates a world she barely understands, Elara must learn to decipher the subtle language of smells, not only to uncover the source of the disturbances but also to understand her own unique connection to them. What she discovers will challenge the very foundations of her society and force her to confront a truth more potent and dangerous than any scent: that some codes are meant to remain unbroken, and some memories are best left buried.
