A new book from this veteran author. It has been in development for over half a year, with chapters already prepared. The story is expected to run for around 500 chapters, and 200,000 words are already banked. Come take a look. There are no dull moments in the story so far. I hope you'll show it plenty of support.
This is an age when steam resonates with incantations, and machinery intertwines with flesh and blood. The 22 “Abyss Sequences” are steps by which mortals reach toward the divine, and they divide the world into three factions: [Order], [Chaos], and [Self].
The life of Colin Thorne, an ordinary proofreader, is turned upside down by a diary left behind by his uncle and a potion from the [Gray Mist Walker] pathway. He becomes prey, hunted by both cold, orderly forces and mad chaos.
To survive, he flees to the filthiest corner of Lundingburg, Sunken Bell Town, where he strikes a temporary pact with Moira, the powerful, mysterious, and decidedly unsavory owner of a funeral home. He becomes a pawn in her hand, sent deep into danger.
Here, there are no friends, only the rules of “acting” and the instinct to “digest” potions. There is no protection, only repeated attempts to edge along the brink of death. From posing as a painter to infiltrate the eerie art salon of the “Gilded Gallery,” to becoming a “Faceless One” and navigating the city's shadowy veins...
Colin must survive. Not just to escape those hunting him, but also to uncover the ultimate secret hidden in the diary, concerning the [Gray Mist Walker], a “Dominant” sequence.
