In a world where ancient lore intertwines with modern scientific dreams, three bright but skeptical girls at Echo High are about to have their realities shattered.

As Lysandra grapples with the surreal environment of primordial Earth, populated by creatures believed to be extinct, her scientific mind clashes with the visceral truths of survival. The line between science and myth blurs when she encounters the monstrous yet captivating Gorgon, a creature that challenges her very understanding of nature and evolution. Bound and torn between fear and fascination, Lysandra must navigate a world where every moment could lead to discovery or death.
