In the eternal twilight of Nocthallow, where the sky never sees the sun, Lucien Valtieri guards the forbidden secrets of the Aetherion Archive—a grand and eldritch library whispered about in myths. A man of elegance and eerie detachment, he is both feared and sought after, for he alone deciphers the knowledge that drives men to madness.
But when a book that bleeds is discovered in the city’s shadowed alleys, Lucien finds himself entwined in a mystery that speaks of an ancient prophecy, forgotten gods, and a fate that may already be written in ink darker than night. With enigmatic allies at his side—a silver-haired alchemist, a cursed swordswoman, and a cunning trickster—Lucien must uncover the truth before it consumes both him and the world itself.
After all, some knowledge is meant to stay buried.
