The Mist-Stele Ruins

The dense fog never lifts from the Ruins of the Mist Stele, and the doors in the backstreets know how to imitate human speech.

The price of shutting a haunted door is giving up your memories.

Cen Yan, Pang Yan, and their companions travel among forty-six haunted doors, settling old debts one by one while steadily losing pieces of their own past.

Phantoms look just like friends and family; lonely ghosts come to collect their debts. Beneath the fog, everything is bound by cause and effect.

The doors can eventually be shut, but the memories stripped away can never be recovered.
