Beneath the Canals of Lustris an Ancient City is Waking – And Afraid
In The City That Woke in Fright, my central character, Ennis Valkas, has a particular magical skill: he can read the memories hidden in objects. This makes him useful. It also makes him vulnerable. A broken locket is not just a clue. It is a risk. A magical object is not merely evidence. It may carry fear, grief, compulsion, or a truth that has been waiting far too long to be touched.
Magic Should Solve the Problem
Ennis Valkas once had a future at the Academy. Now half-outcast and half-useful, he works when the Magisterium calls. A lost child. A broken locket. A deadly geas sealed inside a silent mind.
The case should be simple. It is not.
