Summary
"They do not tell you that when you sign away your soul, the ink doesn't stay on the page. It enters the marrow. It turns the heartbeat into a metronome for a song you didn't write."
In 1204, the Library of the Forgotten burned, and a King was reduced to a gilded thrall.
In 1997, Trinité Vincere - Parisian academic and darkwave prodigy - believes he is the architect of his own masterpiece. He thinks the Goth scene of Chicago is just a playground for beautiful, dramatic mortals. He is wrong.
From the ash of the Fourth Crusade to the neon decay of 90s Montreal and New York to the Celtic Tiger of early 2000s Dublin, this is a thirty-year chronicle of a stolen legacy. It is the story of a philosopher flayed into a clanless Pander, the end of the Jyhad, and the catastrophe of loving a Black Hand Dominion who has turned emotional unavailability into a martial art.
The blood doesn’t lie. It just waits for the music to stop.
