The Witch & The City

Osylum is a prison-city that hangs over an endless abyss. A reclusive Lady rules it through the Wardens, eldritch beings who look after the inmates and destroy, without mercy, anyone who tries to leave.

The newest prisoner is the witch Oneirotheria. She has lost her name, her origin and the crime that put her here. Spells, scraps of lore and other people's voices crowd her mind, and the broken, graffiti-covered streets around her seem to echo that disorder.

Oneirotheria begins to piece her past together with help from fellow inmates whose motives are doubtful. What she uncovers suggests she may hold a way out of Osylum. She may also hold the tangled secrets of how the city came to exist.

A lost love is part of what she recovers, one that has outlasted countless lives. The fantasy is ornate and baroque in style, filled with mirrors, puppets and skulls that keep secrets. Grief and love run through it, and the question it turns on is who Oneirotheria stays herself once her memory returns.
