ABOUT THE STORY
Clita has spent her life in the silence of the Sanctuary.
Born a Death-Singer, her voice is feared as a deadly curse in story and song, her throat bound in silver. Until Dante shatters everything.
Once Venethia’s most desired and celebrated bard, Dante was maimed and stripped of his music, left with nothing but vengeance. Convinced the legendary Death-Singer is the key to bringing down the Serenissimo and his court, he kidnaps Clita—only to discover that her deadly voice had been stolen long before.

Forced to flee together, they seek refuge within The Reverie, a traveling caravan of players, thieves, and outcasts. As the road draws them closer to the decadent heart of Venethia, so does an undeniable bond neither expected.
But revolution demands sacrifice.
And when the city's lavish Carnival begins, Clita and Dante must decide whether vengeance is worth the price of becoming the very monsters who broke them.
