The city has no name. That feels deliberate. It could be anywhere and that makes it everywhere. The residents know nothing else. They have learned to endure the gradual corruption of the human spirit like weather they cannot escape. The walls do not just hold them in. They change them slowly and without mercy.
Then three outsiders arrive. They are transients searching for something rare and deeply hidden. Only a handful of citizens possess these energies and the strangers know how to find them. They come with an offer that could change everything. A chance to leave the city behind forever. Freedom from its grip is on the table but the price is steep.
The selection process is bizarre and darkly magical. It tests more than strength or wit. It digs into the soul. Those who enter must prove something the strangers refuse to explain upfront. Not everyone will make it through. Those who survive the process may finally walk away from the only world they have ever known. The question is whether what waits outside is any better.
David Dwan writes with a grim confidence that pulls you into the alleys and shadows of this unnamed place. The characters feel real because their desperation feels real. The three outsiders remain mysterious and their motives unclear. This is dark urban fantasy that does not flinch from the ugliness of survival while still leaving room for hope.
