When the Ninth Day Fell

When history becomes a lie, whose eyes should you believe? Vincent Montgomery, the exiled eldest son of a nobleman, returned to his gloomy ancestral land with a "talking" sapphire. Through the gems, the angels in the sacred oil paintings shed their wings, and God revealed his tired face - he discovered that the entire world's beliefs and history might be an illusion that had been carefully tampered with. Magic was forbidden knowledge, and the church had a monopoly on the only truth. His stepmother is an arcane practitioner who walks in taboos, his silent wife carries horrific scars and secrets, and the exiled northern prince brings relics of a lost civilization. From the whirlpool of intrigue in the imperial capital, to the whispers of evil gods sealed in the snowy mountains; from the tears of the gods in the New World, to the sigh of Dragon Emperor Seris who "lives and dies with civilization"... Vincent gradually realizes that he is not only a pawn in the family's revival, but also a key - a key that may reveal the buried truth of the "previous civilization" and determine the fate of the world. In this world woven with lies, only true courage can pierce the eternal night.
