The Dubois and the Seven-Minute Gate

Two men. One road. And places where time no longer behaves as it should.Guy and Marco Dubois are neither detectives nor heroes. They are ordinary men who travel where reality begins to fracture-quietly, without recognition, and without expecting anyone to believe what they find.When their friend Léa invites them to spend a few peaceful days at a secluded manor on the coast of Brittany, they expect little more than fresh sea air and a welcome break. Instead, they discover a place where the walls seem to breathe, pressure shifts without warning, and time itself can be measured... slipping.At the heart of the mystery lies an ancient dolmen known by the locals as the Stone That Eats the Hour.Whenever the tide retreats and the west wind rises, a seven-minute window opens.Seven minutes during which the laws of time begin to fail.Their instructions are clear:Observe. Contain. Do not interfere.But some phenomena refuse to remain contained, and some echoes of the past are still searching for a way back into the present.Blending atmospheric suspense, scientific mystery, and subtle supernatural fiction, The Dubois and the Seven-Minute Gate offers a fresh take on the paranormal. Here, the impossible is never magical-it follows rules. Every anomaly leaves traces. Every investigation demands patience. And every decision carries consequences.Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent supernatural thrillers with memorable characters, rich atmosphere, and mysteries grounded in history, science, and folklore.The Dubois is a series where the invisible is not magical.It is unstable.
