Tibet, 1938. He was sent to watch her. He never expected her to see him.
Matthias Krüger is a young SD intelligence officer posted to a remote Himalayan monastery with simple orders: observe the Reich's most classified paranormal asset, report on her progress, remain detached.
They call her Leise. She reads Dostoevsky between rifle shots, sings on the high ridges at dawn, and can vanish into thin air. She looks at him like she has already made up her mind about something he hasn't. He does not stand a chance.
Told through Krüger's private journal, An Index of Vanishing is a literary alternate-history romance about obsession, longing, and the slow collapse of professional distance—about a man trained to watch, and the girl who watched him back.
Content Notes: Obsessive / intrusive desire, suicidal ideation, depictions of grief and childhood loss, SD officer POV in pre-war 1938, slow burn, no explicit sex in part one. First in a series, ends on an unresolved emotional cliffhanger.
