Lee Cake is one of those people who never quite outgrew his teenage obsession with mysteries and old maps. He even has a leather-bound notebook stuffed with scribbled codes, half-baked theories about druids and lost relics, and cryptic phrases he heard once in a pub, that he still hasn't deciphered.

He works a day job that's not quite glamorous? it's to do with data, systems, and security. He's quietly methodical, but his brain's always ticking away at the big puzzles. At lunch he reads books about Neolithic astronomy or takes long walks just to think through a plot twist.

He owns an actual compass. Not just for hikes, but because it makes him feel like he's part of a larger, unseen world. He's the kind of guy who keeps a bookshelf organised not by title or author but by thematic resonance: "ancient technology," "esoteric languages," "things the Romans didn't want you to know."

Socially, he's a bit reserved, but he lights up the topic of hidden knowledge or Stonehenge's lesser-known alignments, and he becomes animated, arms waving like he's on the edge of some great revelation.

And then, at night, he's at his desk with a mug of tea (or whisky?), pulling together strands from archaeology, quantum theory, and conspiracy lore, shaping it into something pacy and pulpy, but with a brain behind it.

Join him in his world!
