The Dark Night Study

Ling Yan is an antiquarian book conservator who walks the fringes of the city. In truth, he is a “memory catcher,” able to read the memories left behind on objects by touching them. He always wears a faded indigo robe, its cuffs forever dusted with flecks of gold leaf, the material used to fill cracks when restoring ancient paintings. He also uses it to conceal the faint glow of his supernatural power at his fingertips.
