Project Clandestinus is an independent creative and publishing venture built around mystery, hidden symbols, coded messages, reader participation and discovery.
Clandestinus invites readers to examine a story as well as follow it: looking for symbols, patterns, visual codes and layered mysteries; testing interpretations; and uncovering what may sit beneath the visible surface.
The opening symbolic manuscript invites readers to study signs, patterns, placement and structure — and investigate whether a deeper message exists within the work.
Future possibilities include further books, deeper coded structures, physical artefacts, collector editions, verified discovery stages and carefully developed interactive or immersive experiences.
Each expansion is subject to its own development, feasibility, funding and legal requirements.
Book II · Paperback + hardcover available
The Jade Eclipse in two editions
Book II is now available in paperback as the black-and-white Text Edition and in hardcover as the colour Photo Edition.
Prize and reward features are still under review. We have sought guidance from the relevant industry association and are awaiting legal confirmation before finalising this part of the project.
Project Clandestinus remains independently owned and operated. Its inclusion within Tree of Life reflects its place within the founder's wider innovation ecosystem; it does not create a financial, legal or operational dependency between Project Clandestinus and Visio Nova Mundi CIC.
Curiosity & critical thinking
Decoding encourages attention to detail, evidence and interpretation.
Active reading
Readers are invited to interact with a book rather than consume it passively.
Shared discovery
A mystery world can connect readers, puzzle-solvers, collectors and creative communities.
Legal, financial and operational separation
Project Clandestinus remains a separate commercial and creative intellectual-property venture. Its inclusion in Tree of Life does not transfer its ownership, intellectual property, publishing activities, finances, contracts, reward or prize obligations, or legal responsibilities to Visio Nova Mundi CIC.
