The final page of the Altai Mirage turns. The last refraction of light on stone, the last echo of a hoofbeat in a high valley, settles into the paper’s memory.

Our season of chasing mirages, those illusions of water and time, is complete. A sky held between covers, a journey offered as a shared experience. For a time, we lived within that breath. The vastness that slows the pulse. The ancient rhythm that patiently absorbs the frantic new beat.
Mongolia left something behind in us: a different cadence to thought, a reverence for the circle, for the hand extended in warmth. We are grateful, endlessly, to the compass-points who guided us. Tudevee, Davaanaad, Tamir, Dart, whose spirits are now woven into the very grain of our journey. But a land of such immense skies teaches another truth: stillness is not an end. It is the space between breaths.

The deep, gathering inhale before a new song.
As the last of the Mongolia Books finds its quiet corner in the world, we feel the shift. The horizon, once a static line of endless steppe, begins to stir. A new thermal rises. The air changes. We are turning our faces now, feeling the first faint threads of a different wind. It carries not the dust of high deserts, but a new scent. It whispers not of patient, ancient cycles, but of something about to break, to bloom, to rise. The chapter of mirages closes, its story entrusted to cloth and ink. Now, we prepare for the chapter of emergence.

A new beat is about to begin.
Spring Summer 2026 is coming.
