The Strange Adventures of the Devout Hearn

A love letter from the past and a classical game unveil a bizarre cyber world;

An electronic sea, a mirrored planet, and mysteries shrouding the prosperity of its virtual facade;

A dark age, hidden for a thousand years, with monsters running rampant beneath the veil of paradise;

Madness and blindness, countless brilliant lights: for whom does the ancient song quietly play?

A double PhD from Zurich's Federal Institute of Technology, in geophysics and... a playboy;

A rising star in continental Europe's piano scene, living in Vienna... and a mistress;

A gray ghost, plagued by low blood sugar, wandering through a cyber metropolis... and a hacker;

A world-weary, aloof young lady from a prestigious family, who ran away from home, skipped school, and cast herself adrift... and a high school sophomore;

In the age of madness, the curtain is about to rise. The devout Hearn straightens her clothes, opens her black umbrella, and steps into the rain of this era...

Book One: "Blood of Desecration" opens with a bang.
